Marc Brédif have long held access to the finest Chenin Blanc vineyards. Grapes are hand harvested in successive passes through the choicest blocks, off vines up to seventy years of age, planted to the vineyards of Vignes Blanches, Tabourneau and Mialet, growing on the first slope up the banks of River Loire, in the communes of Vouvray and Vernou sur Brenne. Only the ripest and healthiest grapes are considered for inclusion. Parcels are treated to a pneumatic press, the exclusively free run juices are treated to a day or two of cold soak followed by vinification in traditional fermentation vats. Upon completion, the wines are held on sedimentery yeast lees for eighteen months before bottling.
