Domaine de la Pierre Gravée - Momentum - Vouvray 2022
Domaine de la Pierre Gravée is located in Vouvray , in the Loire Valley. It belongs to Philippe Guyonnet , a winegrower trained in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. He owns 8 hectares of vines in the Vouvray appellation on several geological bases. In the vineyard; no chemical weedkillers, pruning respectful of sap flow, agroforestry, organic farming, reduced yields, manual harvesting in small crates to preserve the grapes... In the cellar, after slow pressing, the juices are transferred into amphorae or carefully selected barrels, no inputs are used during aging.
Momentum is made from Chenin Blanc , a 50-year-old vine grown on flint-clay soil. Fermentation takes place in barrels using indigenous yeasts. After 12 months on the lees, the wine is racked, blended, and then returned to the fine lees for a further year. It is bottled after 30 months of aging .
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
"A pure and taut nose, between juicy pear, chamomile infusion and smoky flint. On the palate, a caressing texture, saline energy and mineral depth. A Chenin of patience and precision."
