A natural Chenin Blanc from Vouvray. Clos Palet is a parcel of 40-year-old vines on cold, heavy clay over limestone, farmed organically and picked by hand. The juice fermented on its own yeasts and aged in fibreglass tanks, then went to bottle unfined, unfiltered and with no added sulphur. 2023 was Antoine Labrosse and Henri Bruneau’s first year at the estate. Upon opening it has a slight fizz, and the nose is on reductive, bitter notes. After a few minutes in the glass, it opens up and shows ripe pear and apple, with some herbaceous notes alongside the classic silky and waxy Vouvray texture.
