LA GRANGE TIPHAINE - Les Epinays 2019
La Grange Tiphaine is located in the Loire Valley, and produces wines in the appellations of Montlouis-sur-Loire,Touraine and Touraine-Ambroise. The 15-hectare vineyard is an exploitation dating from 1850, then specialised in polyculture (tobacco, cereals ...) and which sees its first vines in the 1970s. The domain was bought in 2002 by Coralie and Damien Delecheneau and they work today together, assisted by two employees: Mathieu and Jean-Rémy. They decided to convert the vineyard to organic farming and obtained biodynamic certification in 2014.
Les Epinays is made from Chenin Blanc grown on sandy clay soils with numerous flints and whose average age is 15 years. Fermentation is long and carried out in foudre, then aging lasts 18 months in a combination of foudre and ovoid concrete tank.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
