The nose starts off dusty, chalky, slightly tight and austere like the rest of the wine. Then, after some swirling around it really begins to open up. Stone fruit aromatics and limestone minerality starts to dance around while the texture begins to build with warm peaches and apricots and a lively, persistent finish with juicy acidity. The Domaine de Vodanis was created in 2007 by two young friends, Francois Gilet and Nicolas Darracq. With the help of Francois's family, they took over a long-term lease on the Vodanis Vineyard (4, 5Ha) from the famed Huet estate, which had recently changed ownership. The estate of Domaine de Vodanis is situated on limestone soils around the town of Rochecorbon, with vines averaging around 25 years old. The philosophy of this estate revolves around respecting and observing the rhythms of nature, so they use entirely sustainable farming practices, borrowing many techniques from the biodynamic canon. Hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts in small stainless steel and fiberglass tanks and then allowed to rest on its lees for 8 months while in tank. 12.5%ABV
