Domaine d'Orfeuilles was founded in the legendary 1947 vintage by Paul Herivault. It now has around 20 hectares and is run organically by Arnaud Herivault, Paul's grandson. The domaine is in the northeast of the Vouvray appellation. The Silex d'Orfeuilles comes from a hillside that faces south. The parcel is covered with large flint stones over clay-limestone. Two-thirds are fermented in stainless steel and one third in barrel, before maturation for 11 months, with bottling in September. The 2019 has smoky aromas with an enticing appley texture and a delicate touch of wood, good length with balancing acidity. Drink with roast chicken or pork.
