Tasting Notes

Golden colour with silvery highlights. We discover citrus aromas with a mineral touch. A bold attack followed by a beautiful vivacity, we find throughout the tasting a tart citrus-fruity exotic note with a mineral finish.

The 35 hectares of the vineyard surround like a horseshoe the terraced gardens in a preserved ecosystem of forests and pastures. Six hectares are planted in the historic enclosure of the walled park.

The vines of Château de Valmer, planted on hillsides with clay-limestone soils overlooking the Brenne valley, allow the four facets of the chenin to be declined and produce sparkling, dry, semi-dry and sweet white wines.

Jean de Saint Venant brought the enthusiasm of his youth and the rigour of the new generation of winegrowers, with the ambition of creating haute-culture, to produce "lace wines", as he calls them.

The solution comes simply from a luxury of daily precautions, scrupulous respect for demanding technical routes. Since 2009, he has devoted all his energy to working the soil in order to allow the vine to restore the characteristics of this terroir as well as possible. The traceability of the wines is total.

Appearance:  golden robe with silver reflections.

Nose: rather discreet, closed at the beginning, opened afterward.  Fruity notes, white flower type..

Palate: first mouth smooth and supple, with fruit notes. We find exotic notes like pineapple. Length and good body in mouth with an exceptional finish on a mineral note.

About this Wine

Chenin Blanc

A versatile white grape from the Loire Valley, capable of producing dry, sweet, and sparkling styles with high natural acidity.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley wine region lies between the center and the northwest of France, along the Loire river. It is home to some of France's most well-known wines, notably, Sancerre, Muscadet, Vouvray and Pouilly-Fume.

The majority of output from Loire production is white wine, from grape varieties such as Sauvignon blanc, Chenin Blanc and Melon de Bourgogne grapes. There are in total 87 appellations in Loire, stretching from the Atlantic coast and heading inland near the city of Orléans. The region is commonly divided in to three subregions. The upper Loire is predominantly Sauvignon Blanc and includes the areas of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Middle Loire is mostly under Chenin Blanc (and some Cabernet Franc) and includes villages of Touraine, Saumur, Chinon and Vouvray. Lastly in the lower Loire, to the west the Melon de Bourgogne grape variety thrives in the Muscadet region and is the most widely planted grape in the Loire.

Producers to seek out and try include: Henri Bourgeois, Mark Bredif, Domaine Bernard Fleuriet, Vincent Pinard, Eric Bordelet and Gerard Boulay.
