Jean-Claude Pichot’s family is one of the oldest in Vouvray, with origins as viticulturists and restaurateurs dating back to 1739. The family cellars are located in the charming village of Vouvray, in caverns hewn from the rolling hills which were once quarried to provide stone to construct the grand châteaux of the Loire. In fact, the Pichot home is itself part house and part cavern, with a dramatic hearth carved from the rock. Jean-Claude is one of six sons, but the only one to continue the family tradition of vigneron.
Beautiful deep golden yellow color with brilliant reflections. Impressive nose of concentration with aromas of flowers and ripe fruit. On the palate, beautiful aromatic richness, fruit perfectly balanced by the very present minerality. The finish is incredibly persistent. Drink now or over the next 5 years.
