Description

As the name "Schisteux" suggests, the Chenin Blanc on the Sato vineyard is grown on the parts of the site that are richest in schist soils.

This imparts a distinct minerality to the Sato home farm Chenin Blanc, in a not-too-dissimilar mode to the great Chenin Blancs of the Loire Valley.

Chalky yet textural and absolutely delicious, this a powerhouse Chenin Blanc that will not disappoint.

Review

Named after the very schisty soil on which the vines live (if schisty is not a word, it is now). Good intensity here, this is, if nothing else, a varietally correct Chenin. Nectarine, pears, hessian and apples.

This is an appealing textural style with excellent length and a fine line of bright salinity. Impressive balance and complexity. This could have up to twenty years ahead of it.
