2016 Loire vintage – une année compliquée ! (Part 1) – pics from Vouvray


 Michel Autran (Noizay) – among the first Chenin Blanc 
grapes to be picked in AC Vouvray 
These were picked early because of the threat of rot 

First pressings

 Michel's Gamay

 Bunches with some tiny berries is apparently a feature this year

With Michel we tasted hos two recently bottled 2015s:
Les enfers tranquilles and Ciel Rouge 
– loved the precision and weight of Ciel Rouge
