Clone 220 originates from Loire valley and is characterized by its thicker skin. Mostly fermented in concrete eggs for 9 months, this is a top-tier expression of this varietal. Fully concentrated, it shows classic quince, honeydew, elderflower and candle wax aromas with also some savory notes of sage. It’s definitely one of the most complex and flavorsome chenin in the valley.
