Christophe Thorigny is the fourth generation of his family to work 10.5 hectares of Chenin Blanc vines in the village of Parcay-Meslay in the appellation of Vouvray. He farms by the principle of "Lutte Raisonnée", with as little intervention in the vineyard as possible. His vines are planted on a plateau of tuffeau, the local soils of chalky clay and flinty clay which cover a thick layer of limestone.
Christophe keeps his yields low by severe pruning throughout the growing season, allowing for fully ripe, healthy Chenin Blanc grapes. All grapes are vinified in stainless steel, giving his wine a freshness and vivacity indicative of the terroir. Ripe stone fruits and a steely acidity run through this medium bodied wine with a lingering finish.
