Terre de l'Elu Bastingage' Blanc
Country: France Region: Loire
Varietal: Chenin Vintage: 2022
Colour: White Style: Dry
Producer: Thomas & Charlotte Carsin
Description:
Terre de l’Elu was originally established by two brothers in the 1950s who sold their grapes to local negociants, and in 2008, they retired selling their estate to Thomas and Charlotte Carsin. Thomas, an agricultural engineer by training, became enamored with viticulture during his studies. Once his formal education was complete, he traveled to Sonoma, Champagne, and Provence, supporting himself as a viticultural consultant while learning enology by working in various cellars. When Charlotte and Thomas found these vineyards for sale, it was an easy, if life-changing, decision to make.
Thomas and Charlotte farm Terre de l’Elu organically and biodynamically – certified by Ecocert and Demeter.
Tasting Note:
This dry Chenin is beautiful, brilliant and this cuvée has a deep and complex nose that reveals buttery aromas. The attack - full and plump - is followed by a very beautiful minerality typical of shale soils. Some nice citrus notes reminiscent of candied lemons.
Food Matches:
Savoury- Fish, Shellfish, Spicy, Asian
Sweet- Fruit Pastry, Apple Pie, Tarte Tatin, Tiramisu
