To me it sounds odd that such a premier terroir is indicated as a subzone of a larger area

originally from Belgium

The juice settled for one night and was racked to neutral French oak for fermentation with its native yeast

2023 Benoit Courault Le Petit Chemin VDF Blanc, Loire, France Louis Magnin To me it sounds odd100% Chenin Blanc, aged in large casks for about 6 months. No fining no filtration. This cuvee has no SO2 added. Note this release is a little more powerful than previous vintages because of the use of some Chenin Blanc usually allocated for the cuvee Gilbourg.
