Chénas Naturellement Pascal Aufranc
Description
Red
Intense & Thoroughbred
Intrigued and curious about sulphite-free wines, I too wanted to take the plunge. This was also a challenge due to the different technical approach required for the Chénas ‘En Rémont’. For this cuvée, I chose to take my approach even further by favouring young vines aged 25 years, which allows me to work the soil and grow cover crops. The terroir of my two Chénas cuvées is identical, but I wanted to bring more fruit and richness to this cuvée to create two distinct characters.
