Lauded by the late Becky Wasserman and a vital cog in her portfolio, the wines of Domaine Ogereau, specifically those of 4th generation vintner, Emmanuel, are the flag-flyers for dry Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley. Grown in volcanic soil, the 70+ year-old grapes for Vent de Spilite are whole-cluster pressed, spontaneously fermented and aged for a year on its lees in used 500L barrels. A salvo of nervy minerality.
