The winery says:
This vineyard has a rather unusual terroir as the subsoil is comprised of the volcanic rock gabbro, covered by a 40 cm-thick layer of clay. This unusual soil gives the wines distinctive minerality and lemony notes.
The terroir brings finesse and elegance to this wine.
Fresh, lemony nose with notes of gunflint. Powerful, mineral-driven palate. Very long finish. Ripeness and roundness, with excellent balance.
(The gunflint note echoes classic Chablis.)
“Anima mea,” by the way is latin for “my soul, spirit, vital principle or life.” That which animates me.
Of the many different bottlings of single-vineyard Muscadets Veronique and Aurore Gunther-Chereau so passionately and fastidiously craft, this one may be the most singular and special.
It’s a sensation in France – and among top West Coast sommeliers – for a reason.
This stuff is just sensational!
