Description
The 2022 “Bénasse” cuvée from Domaine Le Facteur comes from 50-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils. Farmed organically with no synthetic inputs, this wine reflects the estate’s deep commitment to sustainable practices. Harvested by hand with meticulous grape selection, the wine undergoes a natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts and is aged for 14 months in sandstone jars, delivering a pure and terroir-driven expression of Chenin Blanc.

Tasting Notes
• Appearance: Bright pale yellow
• Nose: Delicate aromas of ripe white fruits (pear, apple), with floral and mineral undertones
