After a degree in enology and an étage of Domaine Huet, Mathieu Cosme made a name for himself by making powerful, dry, and precise cuvées of Chenin Blanc from 13 hectares of vineyards located just outside of Noizay, a village fronting the Loire in the far southeastern corner of Vouvray.
20-60-year-old vineyards on the plateau above the côtes of Vouvray has been certified organic since the 2014 vintage, and Mathieu has plowed the soils by horse since 2005 when he finished his étage at Huet and returned to run his family’s estate. . The vines are planted on a mix of sandy silex and tuffeau soils. As with most of Mathieu’s wines, this is a dry sparkling wine that is aged for a minimum of 12 months sur lattes before disgorgement. The wines are fermented and aged in 400L French oak barrels, as has been the tradition in Vouvray for centuries.
