Chenin Blanc Les Noëls de Montbenault

In fact, everything here is done by hand; only the scythe, hoe and pruning shears are used. But of course Richard also operates the pump for the biodyamic extracts by hand. Oh yes, you're right, someone who forgoes heavy machinery in the vineyard in favor of loose soil certainly doesn't use conventional chemical products. The Noël de Montbenault is an icon. Not only because of its unique quality, but also because Etienne Davodeau accompanied Leroy for a whole year in the vineyard and cellar, resulting in a book that is not only entertaining, but also extremely instructive, and which everyone knows: "The Ignorants"!

The Noël de Montbenault grows on volcanic soil and is expressively aromatic: quince aromas and dry blossoms and flowers dominate along with culinary herbs and beeswax. Dense yet elegant with the finesse of a great Burgundy, it moves across the palate. A wine that fires on all twelve cylinders!
