Certified biodynamic. 100% Chenin Blanc. Multiple parcels on the Chaume hill, facing south. Ronceray is the name created by Chaume growers for the dry whites created in the Chaume and Quarts de Chaume appellations. 45+ year old vines. Sandstone, and spilite over schist bedrock. Indigenous yeast. Partial malo. Fermented and aged in 70% stainless steel, 30% foudre (25hl) for 12 months.
The 2020 Ronceray is a dry Chenin that comes from sweet wine territory of Chaume. It is pure and clear with a steely rod of acidity that runs through the wine, giving a sense of minerality and clarity. Having been partly fermented in barrels and foudres as well as tanks before a year on lees, this rounds the wine's edges and, in combination with the lees, provides a light pastry-like flavor that adds to the floral and apple-like character.
