Discover the grape variety: Chenin

Chenin, also known as pinot de la Loire Valley (pineau), is the flagship grape variety of the Loire Valley. It would have found its first origins in Anjou where it would have been cultivated by the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Maur located between Angers and Saumur since the 6th century. chenin is a great white grape variety which likes particularly the chalky soils called here stones of tufa which were used for the construction of the castles of the Loire Valley. Its bunches are medium-sized, fairly compact and its berries are more or less small. It is an early variety, which resists well to diseases. Chenin has the particularity of being able to participate as well in the elaboration of dry white wines as of sweet white wines or sparkling wines. Perfectly structured by the acidity, elegant, with a complex nose and aromas of yellow fruits, dry fruits, citrus fruits, white flowers, honey... the wine resulting from the chenin is rather lively and nervous, which allows him a good potential of guard. Chenin covers about 10,000 hectares in France, and is very productive in South Africa where it covers more than 26,000 hectares.

The wine region of San Rafael

San Rafael is an Argentine wine region located in the very Center of the Mendoza province, roughly 200 kilometers (125 miles) South of the city of Mendoza. Although not on the scale of the Vineyard">Vineyards around Mendoza's main wine regions in the north-west of the province, the vineyards of San Rafael still cover almost 22,000 hectares (54,000 acres), which still represents 15 percent of Mendoza's plantings, and the wines make up for quantity through quality. As expected Malbec is the primary grape variety here. Bordeaux-style blends are prominent among the region's most popular wines, and single-variety wines are also made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and, less commonly, Pinot Noir.


The wine region of Mendoza

Mendoza is by far the largest wine region in Argentina. Located on a high-altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes Mountains, the province is responsible for roughly 70 percent of the country's annual wine production. The French Grape variety Malbec has its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. The province Lies on the western edge of Argentina, across the Andes Mountains from Chile.

The word of the wine: Gout (wine of)

In red wine making, the wine comes directly from the vat after devatting (see press).
