Denis Meunier Description
Although Denis Meunier is only 26, his small domaine is one of the most old-school you are likely to see in Vouvray. In 2012, Denis took over 13 hectares of chenin blanc (with vines up to 65 years old) from his father and uncle. Even after a string of heartbreaking vintages early in his tenure, Denis’s vision and dedication are unshaken. He is moving the domaine toward organic farming, with a resolute “respect for terroir” — in his case, the distinctive gravelled tuffeau and clay-silex soils of Vernou-sur-Brenne. Recent investment in more sophisticated equipment is allowing Denis to work with much greater precision on the press pad and in the cellar. The results are pure, crisp, lively chenins that both harken to a classic Vouvray style and anticipate a long trajectory of terroir-focused winemaking for this driven young vigneron.
This chenin is sourced from vines with an average age of 25 years.
Tasting Note: Focused on the palate and lively on the nose, exuding expressive aromas of bright citrus. Dry finish.
