Corentin Houillon Montee Furieuse 2022
Corentin Houillon is another of the superstar Houillon clan (nephew to Emmanuel, Adeline and Aurelien, though only 7 and 15 years younger than Aurelien and Manu respectively). In the vineyard Corentin is certified organic (AB) and uses 500 and 508 biodynamic preparations. He does vineyard work by hand, according to lunar cycles where possible but primarily focused on practical agronomy, doing what's needed at any given moment depending on the forecast and the season. He does not till the soil but prefers to keep a grass cover in the mid rows, which he mows, and then sows a cover undervine.
Jacquère from a steep South-West facing hillside of molasse. The quartz in the soil gives the wine liveliness and freshness. Exclusively vinified in demi-muid, aged on lees until bottling. This vintage reflects the typicality of jacquère, fruity and sharp with a body provided by its aging on full lees. A laser-beam of acidity and tension. - Lo-Fi Wines, importer
