Premier Nez 2022

"Premier Nez" is the pure and powerful expression of Chenin Blanc according to Marie Thibault. After perfecting her craft working at François Chidaine in Montlouis, Marie founded her own 3.5-hectare estate in 2011 in Azay-le-Rideau, a lesser-known but highly promising area within the Touraine appellation. Her vineyard is situated on a well-ventilated slope characterized by white clay and limestone, conditions that favor certified organic viticulture and optimal grape ripening.

This wine comes from 40-year-old vines and stands out for its dry, deeply mineral profile. It is a complex and structured white wine that reflects the strength and infectious energy of Marie, a winemaker who, despite not coming from a family of winegrowers, has built a distinguished estate thanks to a solid scientific foundation and tireless dedication.
