Pierre Menard - Lumière Blanche 2022
8 wines, 8 unique parcelles, one unique case..
Lumière Blanche has been Pierre's vision for awhile now, having brought it up over multiple visits to the winery. Through these 8 natural wines from individual parcels, Pierre's intent to highlight the unique terroirs of Anjou comes into the spotlight.
Each limited edition case includes
1 x Les Mailles Hubert 2022 - 70 year old Cabernet Franc vines grown on Clay and Schist
1 x Les Mailles Jeanne 2022 - 80 year old Chenin grown on Clay and Schist
1 x Quarts de Gastines 2022 - 70 year old Chenin grown on Green and Gray Schist
1 x Quart des Noëls 2022 - 100 year old Chenin grown on Schist Sandstone and Quartz
1 x Varenne de Chanzé 2022 - 8 years old Chenin grown on Green and Gray Schist and Volcanic Spilite
1 x Clos des Mailles 2022 - 25 years old Chenin grown on Green and Gray Schist on Phtanite
1 x Pluton 2022 - 30 years old Chenin grown solely on Phtanite
1 x Chaos 2022 - Noble Rot Chenin from 4 parcels, Quarts de Gastine, Quart des Noëls, Varenne de Chanzé, Clos de Mailles.
Indeed a very well thought out spectacle that will age in one's cellar comfortably for the next decade or so.
With 250 such cases ever produced, Racine Wines Co. is proud to have been offered a small allocation for Singapore, thank you Pierre!
