Planted at altitude on the cooler, abrupt hillside slopes of clay and limestone in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Chenin Blanc from this region would normally be destined for a Cremant de Limoux. However, in this case, the grapes are left on the vine much longer and it is one of the latest varieties to be picked, achieving full ripeness yet retaining a refreshing crispness. The ripe yet crunchy fruit gives La Lisse Soie d’Ivoire its freshness, vigour and spine as well as luscious texture, which is further complemented and enriched by partial vinification and maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak.

La Lisse Soie d'Ivoire Chenin Blanc is a bright, lemony and densely fruity ensemble which has a long-lasting and thought-provoking finish, smooth (‘lisse’) as silk (‘soie’). The Chenin Blanc grape variety originally hails from the Loire Valley before it was planted near Limoux in the Haute Vallée de L’Aude. Here in the south, but importantly planted at altitude on the cooler, abrupt hillside slopes of clay and limestone in the foothills of the Pyrenees, it is one of the latest to be picked, achieving full ripeness yet retaining a refreshing crispness. This ripe yet crunchy fruit gives this wine its freshness, vigour and spine and at the same time its luscious texture which is further complemented and enriched from one third vinified and matured for nine months in seasoned French oak.
