Les Argiles is a full-bodied wine, with a very nice fat counterbalanced by a minerality and a fine acidity. This makes it a fairly accessible wine in its youth, although it evolves superbly over a decade or so. We really appreciate its finish marked by beautiful notes of citrus!
In 2015, the wine union refused to grant the appellation to François Chidaine’s vouvrays because he vinified them on Montlouis, so they are in “Vin de France”
Density: 6600 vines/hectare
Age of the vines: 70 years
Soils: composed of deep clays and white chalks of a clay-limestone nature only. Subsoil made up of tufa, chalk that remains within reach of the roots. The vines are pruned by Guyot, harvested with successive sorting, yields around 40hecto/hectare
Pneumatic pressing of the harvest, fermentation on indigenous yeasts in demi-muids (600-litre barrels). No malolactic fermentation.
