Description

Benoît Courault Empreinte 2024DESCRIPTION I was a bit tired of pouring wine, so I decided to make some. Benoit Courault, winemaker said about his choice to leave the restaurant business and venture into the vineyard. Today, as a winemaker, his chenin blancs have a bit of a cult following. Empreinte is a single variety organic vineyard where old vine chenin blanc is grown. Like a footprint (empreinte) in French his wine is a reflection of the land. He works as naturally as possible

Fresh citrus and minerality on the finish

Delicate and honest in expression

Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot
