MATHIAS BARRALON, LE PETIT CHENIN 2024

Mathias Barralon is based in a remote part of the Ardeche called Desaignes at an altitude of 600m, he planted his own vines of Pinot Noir, Gamay & Chenin Blanc. The wines have captivated us for a few years and we have finally managed to secure some for the UK

100% Chenin Blanc from a parcel of 0.4 hectare on granite, at 55om altitude.. From a cool vintage this is direct, taut and precise. Clocking in at 9% it's an ode to freshness and salinity. We love it. Only 400 bottles made!
