Catherine and Pierre Breton, esteemed natural wine pioneers in the Loire Valley, have been crafting authentic wines since the early 1990s. Catherine's 'La Dilettante' project, initiated in 2002, focuses on producing pure expressions of Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, reflecting their commitment to biodynamic farming and minimal intervention winemaking.
- WINEMAKER: Paul Breton
- FARMING: Certified Organic
- VARIETY: 100% Chenin Blanc
- TERROIR: Grapes grown in Vouvray, Planted around 1960, 1 Ha, Clay, Siliceous
- VINIFICATION: Ferments in bottle without the use of dosage or sulfur. Indigenous yeasts. Wine finishes its malolactic fermentation.
- AGING: Aged 11 months on lees in cement tank. Disgorged after 6 months sur lattes.
- TASTING NOTES: a gregarious, palate-pleasing wine that’s one of the more radical ways to kick off an apéritif. It’s less classical than other sparkling wines—a bit more wild, savory, and lush—but equally cheers-worthy.
