Chinon, Le Blanc Clos

This is a very limited cuvée made for the first time by Jérôme and harvested at the end of August. It is produced from 50-year-old Chenin Blanc grapes and is aged for 12 months in bottle because of climate change that could perhaps unbalance the wine. There is impressive freshness, here with an intriguing floral taste of summer blossom, white peaches and salty minerality. It is precise and fruity and is all about great winemaking.

Drink from 2026 till 2030

The story

Château

Domaine de La Noblaie

There is a magical history at Noblaie. Legend has it the parcel of vines, still called “Les Blancs Manteaux” was where white knights collected taxes to finance their crusades to the Holy Land and the house dates back to the 15h century. A stone vat from the same period is still used to vinify the “Pierre de Tuf” or Tuffeau Rock cuvée. If you climb up to the Chiens-Chiens vineyard (I still haven’t got the etymology for this parcel) you can gaze across the river to the Château de Chinon where Joan of Arc asked the French king, Charles VII, if she could lead his army on a holy campaign.
