Domaine des Granges “Intempor’elle”
Amphora | Vin de France
THE DOMAINE & THE STORY
The story begins in the cold North West of France near the Atlantic Ocean. The AOC “Fiefs Vendéens BREM” is one of the most westerly vineyards in the Loire Valley. Despite a presumably cold location, we find a warm and oceanic microclimate producing Chenin Blanc and many other indigenous grapes. These indigenous grapes include the resurgent Fie Gris once grown in much of the Loire Valley. This AOC currently consists of seven wineries and is truly a hidden gem in France. This oceanic Loire location and it’s microclimate offers these vineyard singularity, minerality,energy and salinity. Brem provides a unique terroir where the vines take root and flourish. The Domaine's team is Christian and Delphine Nobiron who proudly work together all year round, “in the vineyard as in life”. They are now the fourth generation to work this 12 hectares vineyard and seems poised to push the boundaries in terms of sustainable agriculture and quality.

TASTING NOTES
This wine is straw colored and has aromas of white flowers, herbs and freshness. On the palate white fruit and macerated lime lead the charge, followed by crisp fresh citrus notes and a precise finish.
“We watch over our vines and wines everyday, so each cuvee can express its own identity in the respect of Terroir...”
