To me it sounds odd that such a premier terroir is indicated as a subzone of a larger area

Vineyard Size: 9 hectares

70% Marini and 30% Merwah

The juice settled for one night and was racked to neutral French oak for fermentation with its native yeast

The 20+ year old vines are rooted deep into mineral rich shale

2023 Benoit Courault Le Petit Chemin VDF Blanc, Loire, France Louis Magnin To me it sounds odd100% Chenin Blanc, aged in large casks for about 6 months. No fining no filtration. This cuvee has no SO2 added. Note this release is a little more powerful than previous vintages because of the use of some Chenin Blanc usually allocated for the cuvee Gilbourg.
