La Franchaie, 2021 Anjou Blanc, Séraphin
Behind this label hides a powerful and pure Chenin on schists, typical of this area of Anjou, a stone throw from Savennieres. Eric Dubois, a pioneering natural winemaker of the Loire Valley is aging it’s Chenin two ways: Lapin Blanc spends 10 months in barrel while its cousin Séraphin spends 10 months in ceramic vessels. This results in different expressions: Lapin Blanc is more opened, aromatic while Seraphin is more austere on the nose but with a more cristalline mouthfeel. Both offer the same salinity though.
