Domaine Serol - Oudan de Butte en Blanc 2021
Domaine Sérol is a family estate, cultivated biodynamically , on the eastern foothills of the Massif Central , near the Loire gorges. Stéphane Sérol took over the estate from his father in 1996. With his wife Carine, they selected the best potential terroirs of granitic soils at high altitude (400 to 500 meters) and cleared the fields to replant the vines. They naturally chose to plant the local grape varieties of the region : Gamay Saint Romain (32 hectares) and 2 hectares of Viognier. A new vineyard of 2 hectares of Chenin Blanc was planted in 2018.
De Butte en Blanc is made from Viognier , from a 1.5 hectare plot planted on granite soil. The vines, whose age varies from 10 to 15 years, are located between 400 and 450 meters above sea level. The grapes are put in direct pressing then the vinification is carried out in barrels of 500 liters . The wine is aged on lees in barrels for more than 6 months.
Grape variety: 100% Viognier
