Pinon 2022 Vouvray Brut

The Chenin's of Pinon are some of the best in Vouvray due to their impeccable farming, diversity of clay, limestone, and silex soils, and deliberate, albeit low-intervention, cellar work. Unlike the other top producers in Vouvray, whose sparkling wines come from the youngest vines, the Pinon Vouvray Brut comes from 45 year-old vines on great clay/limestone terroir. It is made in the traditional (Champagne) method with two years resting on the lees before disgorgement with a roughly 7 g/l dosage in this vintage. Delicious young, especially in a warm vintage such as 2022, the wine ages beautifully, reaching another level of compleity after ten years in the cellar. Highly recommended!
