The effervescent Liv Vincendeau from Anjou has crafted a sparkling selection of Cremant de Loire and incredibly expressive, dry Chenin.
Having come to England to study pharmacy, German born Liv decided to leave her life in the laboratories at the start of the new millenium, to follow a new path in the vineyards and cellars of France. Her quest led her to Rochefort sur Loire, in Anjou, where she established a small domaine of around 4.5 ha of vines on slopes above the village. The schist terroir here is enriched with deposits of green and purple schist, together with volcanic quartz.
The fabulous terroir here comprises green and purple schist
Having acquired the vineyards in 2013, Liv immediately set out transforming the land, to maximise the potential of the terroir. Adopting organic/biodynamic viticulture and choosing to shun her tractor, to work the land with a horse, she also adopted a minimum intervention approach to vinification.
Produced from 100% Chenin Blanc with an average age of 40 years and low yields, Liv’s Loire Gold is a stylish and refreshing, Brut Nature. Only the heart of the juice is taken for this cuvee, which is fermented in stainless steel, with part malolactic and aged for approximately two years on the lies.
The palate sings with vibrant quince, ripe apple and citrus fruits, accompanied by subtle notes of toast and hazelnuts with a perfect balance of acidity. Beautifully pure and vibrant, with a long, clean finish, rounded by a delightfully fine mousse and mouth-watering salinity.
We are firm believers that the person is just as important as the place, and that a little of each wine-maker can be seen in their wine! Here we highlight a small selection of the talented artists whose creations inspire us, each with their own unique and inspiring stories.
