White Wine Chenin Blanc
Loire Valley, France
"The nobility of Chenin Blanc: a perfect balance between mineral freshness and a delicate creaminess, born from the iconic white chalk (tuffeau) soils."
Mineral Purity of the Loire
Vignobles Berthier Vouvray 2024 is a masterful interpretation of French Chenin Blanc. Located in the heart of the Loire Valley, this white wine benefits from tuffeau soils (white limestone), which provide a vibrant acidity and an unparalleled mineral structure.
