Complex, chalky and fine, the 2021 La Ripaille exudes sophistication. The palate is delightfully textured, just shy of mid-weight with masses of concentration and very fine tannins.

The Domaine du Collier was created in 1999 by Antoine Foucault (the son of Charly Foucault from Clos Rougeard) and Caroline Boireau. Situated in the village of Brézé, Antoine and Caroline cultivate seven hectares of 30- to 100-year-old vines, five of them dedicated to Chenin Blanc for the two white wines and the rest Cabernet Franc for the two reds. The vineyards are farmed biodynamic, so no chemicals, fertilizers or weedkillers are applied. The soils are worked to force the vines to go deeper and deeper into the rocks of tuffeau. Grapes are harvested manually and all musts are fermented and aged for two or three years in barrels, in the fantastic tuff vault cellar at the domaine. Domaine du Collier produces impressively clear, precise and racy Chenins full of tension, elegance and mineral structure.
