Grande réussite

RVF

"A blend of Tressailler and Chardonnay with notes of lemon and verbena. It captivates with its straightforward, crisp, and lingering texture." (La Revue du vin de France, 2014 Vintage Special, June 2015). For his second vintage, Florent Barichard has produced the vintage’s finest wine and has immediately established himself as a symbol of the appellation’s revival. Not to be missed!

About the wine:

A blend of Tressailler and Chardonnay with notes of lemon and verbena. It captivates with its clean, crisp, and lingering flavor profile.

About the estate:

After taking over part of his uncle’s vineyards—his uncle being a member of a wine cooperative—the young Florent Barichard produced his first vintage in 2013. Together with his partner Éric Nesson, they carry out meticulous work on a plot-by-plot basis. The use of native yeasts and aging in concrete tanks results in ripe, fresh, and lively whites that are helping to revitalize the local wine scene. Since single-varietal wines are prohibited in the Saint-Pourçain appellation, these wines are classified as Vin de France.
