VIN DE FRANCE LES ROULIERS 2018 - RICHARD LEROY

Tasting notes

Reduced on the aromatics, there is a finesse and restraint to this wine (from only 0.70 ha of low yielding vines) with a mineral flavour possibly emanating from the underlying schist. Fermented completely dry with the malolactics completed and no bâtonnage and no sulphur used in the cave at all, it shows chenin in its most elegant style.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Aside from his passion, there was nothing to predispose Richard Leroy to become a winegrower (no wine producers in his family and a student of Economics) but in the middle of the 1990s he took on 2.7 hectares of vines in Rablay-sur-Layon.

He used to produce sweet white wines under the Rablay-sur-Layon appellation and dry wines under the Anjou appellation but following serious disagreements with the INAO his cuvées have been reclassified under the Vin de France label.

Yields are very low and only the best grapes are selected. The viticulture is, of course, organic and harvesting is done by hand. Sulphur levels have been reduced dramatically year after year. These wines are perhaps one of the finest expressions of the Chenin grape. They have also become an open secret, sought-after by connoisseurs all over the world.

Unfortunately, production levels are negligible.
