Pure Chenin from century-old vines in Le Thoureil: Sylvie Augereau's Pulpes captures the mineral intensity and aging potential that define the greatest Loire whites. Two years aging in 400-liter barrels builds complexity, depth, and that signature Chenin structure—vibrant aroma with citrus, white flowers, and pronounced minerality creating a wine that's immediately captivating yet destined to evolve for over a decade. Augereau applies minimal-intervention viticulture on her biodynamic vineyard. Pale yellow, tensile, alive.
