Overview

With Chiens-Chiens having no clear meaning, it only makes sense that Les Blancs Manteaux should have two. Located at the top of the hill where Domaine de la Noblaie is situated, the lieu-dit of Les Blancs Manteaux is pure, pale, tuffeau soil – a veritable White Cloak of limestone. Centuries ago, this land was also in possession of the Knights Templar, renowned for their white cloaks emblazoned with a red cross. Despite the origins of its name, Les Blancs Manteaux is an elegantly structured, vertical, and pure Chinon with very fine tannins and a lengthy finish.
