BERNARD BAUDRY CHINON ROSÉ

The fruit for the rosé comes from estate parcels of flinty alluvial soils mainly. The vines are on the younger side.The farming is certified-organic. All vineyard work, including harvest, is by hand. The whole clusters are gently pressed into unlined cement vats. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and without sulfur or temperature control; it lasts until the wine is dry (under 2 grams of residual sugar). The wine is aged on its fine lees in tank, goes through malolactic fermentation and is bottled in the spring with a very gentle filtration and minimal sulfur.
