Wine Region: Loire-Valley - France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Elegant nose with pronounced iodine and mineral notes, green algae, citrus, lime and Buddha's hand zest. The attack is frank, the wine is demonstrative, relatively powerful and develops nice bitterness and suppleness in the mid-palate with notes of orchard fruit and citrus zest. The finish is citrusy and iodized. A wine aged in concrete tanks vinified without added SO2 that definitely breaks away from the beaten path of Chardonnay. Decanting is recommended in its youth.
About the winery:
Avant-gardist, the Domaine de l'Ecu is certified in organic agriculture since 1975 and biodynamic since 1998 (Demeter) on all of its 24 hectares. They are also certified Biodyvin since 2014. The Domaine has renounced on all technological artifice in the cellar to break with the movement of standardization of wines and preserve the link uniting each of the Cuvees to a terroir and a vintage.
As such, they are proud to be part of the groups of winemakers in Biodynamic "Renaissance Appellations" and "Biodyvin" who both advocate respect for the terroir and this search for pure wine, without makeup or deception ... The vintages of the terroir are today present on the most beautiful tables of the world.
