2018 Benoit Courault, Gibourg Blanc VdF

Benoît Courault established his estate in Faye-d’Anjou in 2006, where he manages his vineyards with a focus on soil health, utilizing draft horses for plowing and organic farming practices. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc, sourced from old vines planted in the distinct clay and schist soils of the region. In the glass, it presents a dense, textured profile with notes of orchard fruit, quince, and a persistent flinty minerality. The 2018 vintage provided a warm growing season that resulted in notable ripeness and depth while maintaining the structural tension characteristic of the domaine. This release is ready to enjoy now, offering an excellent opportunity to experience the signature expression of this producer.
