Eric Chevalier - Les 3 Bois 2022
Domaine Eric Chevalier is located in the Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu appellation area, in the Loire Valley. In 2006, Eric Chevalier settled back into his family vineyard after 10 years of experience in wine trading. His sister, Gaëlle , joined him in 2008, leaving an IT job to return to the vineyards. The vineyard is certified organic farming . The rich and diverse landscape, inherited from an agricultural history of mixed farming, is home to natural biodiversity and auxiliary fauna. In 2017, they planted an orchard and a 1.5 hectare grove to promote this biodiversity.
Les 3 Bois is made from Chardonnay whose vines are 20 years old. After slow pressing, fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts. Aging is carried out on total lees until bottling at the beginning of April.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
