2020 Benoit Courault, Guinechiens Blanc VdF - Magnum

Benoit Courault operates a six-hectare estate in Faye d'Anjou, where he has practiced organic viticulture since establishing the domaine in 2005. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc vines grown in the region's characteristic schist soils. In the glass, it shows a dense, concentrated texture with notes of golden apple, quince, and a distinct mineral quality. The 2020 vintage provided the warmth needed to achieve this notable level of fruit ripeness while maintaining the structural tension typical of the area. This magnum is ready to enjoy now, offering a transparent expression of its terroir that rewards careful attention.
