It is a fragrant and immediate Metodo Classico, characterised by a simple and satisfying sip, with a typically convivial and informal face. It is perfect to enjoy as an aperitif or with delicately flavoured seafood hors d'oeuvres. The long ageing on yeasts does not undermine the vibrant freshness typical of Chenin Blanc, enriching it only with a few refined evolutionary notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e'L'Expressive' is a Chenin Brut from Domaine Oudart, a family-run estate based in Mareuil-sur-Cher, in the heart of the Loire Valley. The vineyards extend over eleven hectares in an area that has always been very suitable for the cultivation of vines. The property is managed with respect for the environment and is currently in conversion to organic farming. The Chenin Blanc vineyards are cultivated on the first hillsides on the banks of the Cher River. The soils are composed of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003esand and clay with siliceous deposits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e. Work in the vineyard is carried out manually, and the harvest takes place at full maturity, in the early hours of the morning, in order to preserve the freshness and aromatic integrity of the fruit. Soft pressing of the grapes is followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After a few months of ageing, the base wines re-ferment in the bottle, according to the Metodo Classico, with a period of 36 months on the lattes before final dégorgement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDomaine Oudart's Brut Chenin 'L'Expressive' is a simple, limpidly fresh Metodo Classico that faithfully displays the varietal characteristics of Chenin Blanc and its terroir of origin.
