Dry “Expression of Flint DOMAINE DENIS MEUNIER

16,00  incl. VAT

This Chenin comes from vines with an average age of 25 years. It is pressed slowly, at low pressure, stabilized at cold, and then undergoes a long alcoholic fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is racked and aged on fine lees, with beating if necessary. This Chenin is concentrated on the palate and lively on the nose, giving off expressive aromas of bright citrus.
