The Story Behind the Bottle
The Socheleau family are relatively new to wine, but they've learnt fast. Réne Socheleau was an apple grower, but his son Philippe was looking for a new direction. So, in 2001, they purchased Domaine Les Deux Vallées with proceeds from selling their apple orchards. One of the first things they did was to rip out the plantings of Sauvignon and Chardonnay. This is fine wine territory for Chenin Blanc. In 2022, Philippe was awarded 'Loire Winemaker of the Year'. Their vineyards lie on two main terroirs (hence the name Deux Vallées). The first is between the Loire and the Layon; the second is around the village of Saint Lambert du Latay. Aged on fine lees for six months, this is rich, rounded, yet intensely citrusy. A superb dinner party wine.
