2023 Benoit Courault Le Petit Chemin VDF Blanc, Loire, France Louis Magnin The juice settled for one100% Chenin Blanc, aged in large casks for about 6 months. No fining no filtration. This cuvee has no SO2 added. Note this release is a little more powerful than previous vintages because of the use of some Chenin Blanc usually allocated for the cuvee Gilbourg.
