The Grandes Rogeries is a distinctive, ambitious wine, and the 2020 vintage is no different. It is a wild fermented, bone-dry wine that spends 26 months in demi-muids creating a reductive, flinty style with smoked bacon and nut-like flavors. While light-bodied, it really packs a punch thanks to its intense concentration and fierce sense of energy and tightness, which I can only put down to its volcanic origins. It's a smart, serious wine, and fans of flinty Chardonnay could be turned on to Chenin. Hugely young, please lay this down before cracking the cork.

Critics reviews
Certified biodynamic Biodyvin). Chenin Blanc on volcanic soils. 26 months in demi-muids, some new.
This is marked by both the volcanic soils – smoky, creamy, deep and powerful – and real tension in the texture. Deep and sour-fresh. Very powerful. Immense persistence.
