The estate of Domaine Gasnier is comprised of 25 hectares, all within the commune of Cravant-les-Coteaux. The age of the vines average 45 years and are all south-facing, an imperative characteristic, given the marginal climate of Chinon. The Gasniers employ biodynmaic techniques in farming, no pesticides or herbicides. Yields are extremely low. The Gasnier produce aromatic, racy red wines, with great concentration and length as well as an enticing sparkling rosé and a rare Chinon Blanc. The wines are delicious upon release but are excellent candidates for short-term aging.
100% Chenin Blanc. Light gold color with aromas of wet rocks, honeycomb, lannolin, Yellow Delicious apple and baked orange. The palate is richly textured with a vibrant, saline minerality and crackling acidity that perfectly frame flavors of toasted hazelnuts, salted grapefruit, citrus zest and white peach. The finish swells into a crescendo, perfuming the palate with complexity and depth. Delicious.
