IGP Val de Loire Métamorphisme 2022
It's the latest addition to the estate! "Metamorphism", to tell you about change undergone by the stone in the terroir from which this wine is made, but also to tell you about the transformations our domain is undergoing the passing of years, the passing of generations, and the climate change.
Grape variety
Terroir
Location: “Champ blanc” – Champ-sur-layon
Soil: Alteration of shale, quartz and clay.
Winemaking
To begin with, a semi-carbonic maceration is carried out to favor the extraction of aromas over tannins. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. Pressed juice and free-run juice are then blended in a stoneware jar for a year’s ageing.
Tasting notes
“Métamorphisme” is a tonic, delicate wine, with a slight hint of pepper on the finish, like a signature of its grape variety. The whole is ethereal, while retaining real aromatic strength. It goes well with fish such as red mullet accompanied by a tomato and bell pepper fondue. The “La Table de la Bergerie” restaurant suggests serving it with a duck and snacked foie gras, pan-fried shiitake and smoked tea consommé. And let’s not forget the sweet side: it’s perfect with a chocolate soufflé!
Our advice
We recommend a serving temperature of between 12°C and 14°C. It can be enjoyed now, or over the next five years.
