Perrault-Jadaud Vouvray Sec Les Grives Soules 2020

Where: Loire, France
Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Body: Medium
Category: White Wine

A bone-dry Chenin with lovely green-apple and floral notes with hints of crushed shells and a touch of smoky minerality. This is medium textured with terrific minerality and freshness.

100% Chenin from 40 to 50-year-old vines located in Noizay and Vouvray, planted on both clay soil with limestone bedrock, as well as flint soils. Organic. Grapes are direct pressed and fermented spontaneously in 1/2 tank and 1/2 barrels, ranging in age from one to ten years old.

Les Grives Soûles: from the French expression "Soûl comme une grive" (drunk as a thrush)  because it's been said that these birds stagger around in vineyards after gorging on rotting, fermenting grapes.
