Sourced from old vines located above the village of Vouvray, this cuvée reflects the estate’s long-standing heritage and focus on precision viticulture. The vineyard sits on prized clay-limestone soils over chalk, contributing to the wine’s signature tension and mineral clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage delivers a beautifully balanced demi-sec style, where approximately 13 g\/L of residual sugar is offset by naturally high acidity, creating both freshness and depth. Fermentation is carried out primarily in stainless steel with a portion in older oak, preserving purity while adding subtle texture. Lees ageing enhances complexity, lending a gentle creaminess to the structure without diminishing vibrancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine reveals a harmonious interplay of orchard fruit, floral lift and honeyed nuance, underpinned by a distinct chalky minerality. It is both approachable in its youth and capable of graceful ageing, a hallmark of fine Vouvray. The style is versatile and food-friendly, equally suited to seafood, poultry in cream sauces, or soft cheeses. This is a wine that speaks clearly of Chenin Blanc’s ability to balance richness and precision with remarkable finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fragrant and expressive\u003cbr\u003eAromas of ripe pear, green apple and citrus mingle with white flowers, honey and a subtle mineral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Balanced and textured\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied with vibrant acidity, showing orchard fruit and gentle sweetness framed by a rounded, supple texture and underlying freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh and lingering\u003cbr\u003eA clean, off-dry finish with lingering notes of honeyed fruit and chalky minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Chenin Blanc\u003cbr\u003eCountry – France\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Loire Valley, Vouvray\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 12%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Pichot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722933637207,"sku":"DPICH-BERG-23","price":37.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/c7f4018c-4bee-4bdc-a18a-f21b584cb8b5.png?v=1776991492","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-pichot-clos-berger-vouvray-demi-sec-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
