Pale yellow and bright in color. The vines provide a complex wine on the nose, aromatic and mineral. Ripe fruits and citrus aromas, very subtle and delicate on the palate.  Bright, crisp & complex. 

The Château de la Roche is one of the oldest single estates of Loire Valley, planted mostly with Sauvignon Blanc. Anne Chainier has made it one of the most renowned Sauvignon Blanc estates from the Loire. Anne Chainier also breeds some of the finest French saddle horses in the world on the estate. She describes her work in two words: elegance and balance.

-Winery notes

This comes from vines averaging 20 years old growing in the communes of Couffy, Seigy and Chateauvieux just south of the Cher River, a major tributary of the Loire. The Loire Valley is an open window to the Atlantic, blessing the region with clement weather. L’Aumonier’s soils range from tufa hillsides rich in clay and limestone to flatter sites of flint and clay, sand and clay, and silt and clay. Ferments are typically spontaneous (the occasional difficult tank may get a dose of neutral yeast) and the wine is raised in tank. There's no fining during élevage and only a light filtration at bottling. Production averages 8,500 cases.

Note that during warmer harvests, they do their harvesting at night to retain as much freshness in the grapes as possible. Certified organic and biodynamic
