Through this extraordinary wine, nature is naked before you with all its primitive beauty...

It opens up pictures, brings about images in your mind...

...ancient volcanic rocks and schist hiding in them an eruptive energy...

and then a cool stream running over, twinkling, pure, crystalline...

you breath in this air, scented with fine herbs, verbena, quince, camomile...and a hint of honeyed ginger!

all is so mysteriously deep and complex like a whisper of secret

of this extraordinary place...

La Roche aux Moines, Savennieres 2008, Claude Papin, Chateau Pierre-Bise

When something touches you deeply yet you don't know why

you know that -

it is very special
