Patapon Blanc VDF
100% Chenin Blanc
Harvested grapes go through a slow and light direct placeThe grapes receive a slow and light direct press. A 24 hour settling period is allowed and then the must ferments and ages in vat until bottling. Malolactic fermentation usually follows alcoholic fermentation and is never halted. The wine is then racked off the gross lees, a light filtration takes place and a small amount of S02 is added at bottling.
The Patapon is Domaine Le Briseau's logo and mascot, a mischievous, grinning, clown figure who appears on this wine's label. His motto is "Vigneron Non Conforme" or "Non Conforming Vigneron."
