The Loire runs 1006 kilometers from its source in the Massif Central to the Atlantic Ocean, making it the longest river in France. From grape to glass, Pauline Lair makes minimalist wines in her urban winery in Angers, a project fittingly named 1006 Vins de Loire. Celeste is a 100% Chenin Blanc, coming from a single plot of 25 year old vines in Anjou. Hand picked, the grapes are slow pressed into French oak Barrels where fermentation starts spontaneously. The wine is then aged for 17 Months. The result is an incredibly expressive and engaging wine.
