2014 Ch de Coulaine Chinon La Diablesse, Loire Valley

Named after a distant relative with a fiery nature named 'La Diablesse' (the she-devil). Made from a tiny 0.8ha plot of 80+ year-old vines in the famed Les Picasses vineyard. This small parcel has a north facing exposition giving a finer fresher aspect to the terrific old vine intensity with the finished wine at just 11.9% alc/vol. Vinified in cement tank with indigenous yeast and then aged in mostly older 400 litre barrels (20% new) for 11 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered.
