Gros Plant du Pays Nantais, Loire Valley, France
VARIETAL
Gros Plant (Folle Blanche)
TASTING NOTES
From one of the highest acid grapes on planet earth, Gros Plant! (a.k.a. Folle Blanche). This amazing wine is sourced from 40-year-old vines planted in the mica-schist soils of the Pays Nantais where the Loire River spills into the Atlantic Ocean. Bone-dry with crisp acids and pure minerality, this is one of the purest, raciest shellfish partners in the world. -Importer's Notes
This zingy white has attractive floral aromas and flavors of citronella, ripe pear, thyme, linden-tree flower and crushed stone. It's crisp and dry on the tongue, unfolding with a pleasant tension and a fresh lime-blossom finish. This is a wine of the sea and should be accompanied by a dozen oysters on the terrace or a fried seafood extravaganza.
(Organic & *Certified HVE)
*The French Ministry of Agriculture developed the Haute Valeur Environnementale or HVE certification in 2001, a three-tiered system that encourages farms and vineyards to focus on increasing biodiversity, decreasing the negative environmental impact of their phyto-sanitary strategy (i.e. measures for the control of plant diseases, reducing the use of pesticides and fungicides), managing their fertilizer inputs, and improving water management. Once an operation has attained the third and most stringent level of the certification process, it is deemed worthy of the title “Haute Valeur Environnementale” or HVE.
