Courant is a dry Chenin Blanc from Sainte-Mélaine-sur-Aubance, near Angers, where the vines grow on sandy loam over blue schist. Schist is a rock that gives wines a cool, mineral character, and you can feel it in this wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented naturally with wild yeasts at 16°C. No malolactic fermentation: skipping it keeps the acidity intact and the wine fresh. After fermentation, it rests for seven months in stainless steel on its lees, unfined and lightly filtered.
