White Cross

fluffy white
100% Chenin Blanc
AOC Coteaux du Layon

Description of the wine

The Croix Blanche plot faces south, on a magnificent hillside. At the foot of the latter runs Saint-Lézin, which on autumn mornings turns into mist, favoring the phenomenon of "noble rot" to give grapes concentrated in sugar. Magical element of this plot, the rhyolite terroir. It brings fullness and a lot of suppleness to our Croix Blanche Spirituelles cuvée.
In addition, the Coteaux du Layon appellation area benefits from an almost Mediterranean microclimate which is perfectly suited to Chenin, the only grape variety used.
