Cuvée Pioche, 100% Savagnin
"The Pioche 2009 is a blend of two different Savagnins, both from Macle's Chateau-Chalon Vineyard. 50% is a Savagnin aged in tank and 50% is aged in the sous voile manner. Initially Laurent wanted experiment with a Savagnin that was vinified entirely in tank, but after three years of aging he decided that he didn't like the style. So he decided to blend it with some Savagnin sous voile, which became the ‘Pioche.' The two styles were blended in 2012/2013 and bottled in 2017."
