Bouillon Blanc 2022 - Lé Thio Noots

Bouillon Blanc - Lé Thio Noots 

Bouillon Blanc by Lé Thio Noots is a fresh and floral sparkling wine, tense on the palate thanks to freshness and vibrant flavor. The grapes come from vineyards with an average age of 50 years on soils rich in shale. Vinification occurs with spontaneous fermentation and aging on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks. The wine was disgorged à la volley. Crunchy and gourmand with highly risky drinking potential.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip goblets. Wine to drink immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Great with fish starters, light first courses, to try with an octopus on potato cream.

Cellar:  Lé Thio Noots 

Lé Thio Noots is located in Chemillé-en-Anjou, a small municipality that is part of the Anjou denomination in the heart of the Loire. It was founded in 2018 by Romain Verger and his wife Lucie. Romain has worked alongside some of the region's most iconic winemakers, including Jérôme Saurigny, Patrick Desplats and Didier Chaffardon, to name just a few, while his wife, once a psychologist, now practices hippotherapy and assists with working horses in their fields. They currently cultivate 3 hectares of vineyard, and among the rows we can find plants of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as some rare grapes such as Gamay de Chaudenay. The couple works the vines sensitively, preferring herbal teas to traditional treatments, and Romain has sown various plants and vegetables such as mustard, potatoes and daikon between the rows to protect and improve the health of the soil. In the cellar the grapes are processed manually in the most natural way possible; long macerations, no additives, no temperature control, fermentation with indigenous yeasts and manual bottling by gravity. Romain's wines perfectly reflect him and his affinity with nature.
