He found work as a crop-sharing tenant farmer on the farm belonging to the château de Bridoire of Ribagnac. on his death in 1956, his son Primo took over the farm but refused ’the state of slavery’ that involved being a share-cropping tenant so he simply rented the farm from the château. Primo’s two sons, Luc and Jean and their cousin, Francis all grew up together on the family farm in Ribagnac. Albert then bought a small property with 20 hectares of vines in the nearby village of Saint Julien d’Eymet. Later in the 1980’s, Luc and his brother bought the farm that their family had always farmed and created an agricultural and viticultural business together. The first bottle of wine labelled ‘Château Tour des Gendres’ was produced in 1986. In 1990, their cousin, Francis, joined the family business, bringing with him his 20 hectares of vines at Saint Julien d’Eymet.

Olivier Lejeune met Falco, a Croatian artist on the small island of Waiheke near Auckland while studying a Wine science diploma. He and Sophie from Australia have painted this amazing piece on a wall of a school in Mexico. Whakapiripiri Mai celebrates the amazing talent of these two artists coming from different backgrounds, and the blend of grapes from two different parcels: “les cailloux” and “clos des plantes” to craft a rather singular profile of Chenin blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 30yo vines planted on Schist\/ Quartz + Phtanites, Rhyolite, Spilite soils. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant soil typehere is Schist, with slivers of Quartz in Les Cailloux, as well as phtanites, Rhyolites, and Spilites, which are all the result of old seismic activity in the region.

The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, with meticulous canopy management, low yields and detailed parcel by parcel harvesting.

Grapes were harvested by hand, sorted carefully and pressed slowly before native yeast fermentation.

The estate is based in the renowned Montbenault sector of Anjou, an area celebrated for its black schist soils and home to some of the Loire’s most sought after Chenin Blanc vineyards. Farming is carried out organically, without herbicides or pesticides, with a strong focus on soil vitality and minimal intervention. In the cellar, fermentations are spontaneous, sulphur use is minimal and élevage is patient and deliberate, allowing the wines to express the depth, tension and mineral complexity that have made Montbenault one of the Loire’s most revered terroirs. Despite relatively small production, Clos des Plantes has developed a cult following amongst Chenin enthusiasts, with Poïèsis increasingly regarded as one of the appellation’s benchmark bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoïèsis 24 Months is a special extended ageing version of the estate’s flagship Chenin Blanc, produced from old vines rooted in the black schist soils of Montbenault. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts before spending an extended twenty four months ageing, significantly longer than the standard cuvée, allowing greater textural depth and complexity to develop while retaining the remarkable tension that defines the site. Aromas of quince, poached pear, citrus blossom and honeysuckle are layered with beeswax, struck flint and subtle spice. The palate is broad yet remarkably focused, combining rich stone fruit and orchard fruit character with saline minerality and a long, chalky finish. Deeply complex and ageworthy, this is a serious expression of Loire Chenin Blanc that showcases both the power of Montbenault and the patient winemaking philosophy of Olivier Lejeune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClos des Plantes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"markedContent\" id=\"page62R_mcid6\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMontbenault, Anjou, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"markedContent\" id=\"page62R_mcid7\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLoire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChenin blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e12.5% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eMedium body white \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eManual harvest,whole bunch fermented in fibre glass and steel with indigenous yeast, aged in oak for 24 months before bottling.
