Profile & Story
Domaine Calvez Bobinet is the partnership of Sebastien Bobinet, a seventh-generation Saumur vigneron, and Emeline Calvez, a former dancer turned sommelier; about 7 ha farmed biodynamically with a cellar in a deep tuffeau limestone cave. Poil de Lievre is 100% Chenin Blanc on tuffeau limestone, direct-pressed, spontaneously fermented and aged on lees in stainless steel, unfiltered and with no added sulfites; harvested early for brightness and freshness.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw yellow with slight natural cloudiness. The nose offers lime leaf, green apple, almost-ripe pear and dandelion with subtle florals. The palate has bracing acidity and crunchy limestone minerality, citrus and orchard fruit through a refreshing, saline finish.
Pairing Recommendation
Crottin de Chavignol, fresh oysters, grilled white fish, rillettes de Tours, asparagus, goat cheese salad, ceviche.
