Vinification
Biodynamically farmed 90 year-old Chenin Blanc vines on clay-silex over limestone soils. Harvest by hand, natural fermentation without additives in neutral oak barrels, aging on old oak for 7 months. Bottled unfined but lightly filtered with about 30 mg/L of added sulphites.
Domaine Le Facteur
‘Le Facteur’ (‘The Postman’) is a range of low-intervention wines made by Fabien Brutout and Mathieu Cosme at the biodynamically farmed Domaine de Beaumont in Vouvray. Named after the tradition of offering the postman a glass of wine when he comes by, these are the domain’s most convivial bottlings, meant to be enjoyed young and with abandon.
