A wonderful example of single-vineyard sparkling Chenin Blanc from the heart of Vouvray.
This is the first release from Pichot's Clos St Mathurin vineyard, which comes from one hectare of vines located in the northern limit of the premiere cru site of Le Marigny just above the village in the centre of the Vouvray appellation.
'This is hugely impressive' 93/100 - Chris Kissack
Jean-Claude Pichot’s family is one of the oldest in Vouvray, with origins as viticulturists and restaurateurs dating back to 1739. Their cellars are located in the village of Vouvray, in caverns hewn from the rolling hills which were once quarried to provide stone to construct the grand châteaux of the Loire. Domaine Pichot was established in 1996. Their 60 acres of vineyards are all in Vouvray, six miles east of Tours on the right bank of the Loire River. The vines are on average thirty years old and are all of the Chenin Blanc variety. In an era when most Vouvray wines are bottled by négotiants, the wines of the Pichot family continue to show the perfumed elegance of Chenin Blanc and are authentic expressions of a particular terrain, climate, cellar, and the art of the winemaker.
