La Grapperie - Aphrodite 2022 (750ml) Coastal RegionA selection of Chenin Blanc from his oldest vines, which are up to a hundred years of age. The grapes are pressed straight to barrels for fermentation before two years of levage in ancient caves of tuffeau hidden in the hills outside his village. The gentle ageing has rendered a wine of impeccable balance and poise. Heady with baked apple, minerals and spice, it has a long, lingering line of acidity that offers balance and brings refreshment in spades.
