    Description Côteaux du Loir Blanc "Prémices" Sec

    Estate

    Domaine de Bellivière is located in the Loir Valley within the Touraine wine region. Established in the late 1990s by Éric Nicolas, it quickly gained recognition for its terroir-driven white wines. The estate practices biodynamic viticulture and pays meticulous attention to parcel management. Its philosophy emphasizes the purest expression of Chenin Blanc. Harvesting is done entirely by hand to ensure optimal grape quality.

    Vineyard

    The vineyards lie on slopes overlooking the Loir River, with clay-siliceous soils over tuffeau limestone. The region’s temperate climate with oceanic influences supports slow grape ripening. The vineyard is planted exclusively with Chenin Blanc, the emblematic Loire Valley grape. Biodynamic practices include soil tilling and the use of natural vine treatments. Yields are kept low to concentrate flavor and aroma.

    Wine

    The 2022 Côteaux du Loir from Domaine de Bellivière is a dry white wine that expresses tension and minerality. It offers aromatic complexity and a vivid freshness typical of high-quality Chenin Blanc. On the palate, it is lively, structured, and shows a long, clean finish. This is a gastronomic wine, versatile with food. It also has the ability to age well over the years.

    Vintage

    The 2022 vintage was marked by warm and dry weather, allowing full ripeness while retaining good acidity. Careful grape selection ensured only the best berries were used. The conditions favored concentration and terroir expression in the Chenin. The vintage stands out for its immediate drinkability and aging potential. The wine balances richness with finesse.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification is natural, using indigenous yeasts. Fermentation is slow, preserving the grape’s character and terroir expression. The wine is aged on fine lees in old barrels to avoid overt oak influence. No oenological additives are used apart from a minimal dose of sulfur at bottling. This process delivers an authentic, terroir-driven wine.
