The 2022 Coulée de Source isn’t gentle. It doesn’t ask—it takes.
Chenin Blanc from 40- to 50-year-old vines, grown on pure schist—you feel that from the first sip. The acidity doesn’t just glide—it seizes you, sharp, racy, alive. It moves like fingertips digging into skin, like a body pressed against yours so firmly you can feel every inch of it.
Then comes the fruit—citrus bursting, white peaches dripping, something so fresh and electric it makes your breath catch in your throat. And just when you think you can handle it? It deepens. The schist kicks in, grounding everything, making it rougher, making it mean something.
You don’t drink this wine—you let it wreck you. You let it push you up against the nearest surface, let it fill your mouth, let it take everything you have until you’re spent, panting, and already reaching for another glass.
Pair it with oysters, grilled fish, or the kind of kiss that leaves your knees weak and your lips swollen.
