Fabien spent years apprenticing under natural winemaking icons like Sébastien Brunet before carving out his own autonomous workspace in Vouvray. Fabien operates with a \"carte blanche\" mentality in the cellar, working entirely with certified organic and biodynamic fruit to produce wines that mirror the raw energy of the soil. Eschewing rigid regional templates, he prefers to release his experimental batches under the liberating Vin de France classification to explore the limits of the iconic Chenin Blanc grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 \"La Bamboche\" White is actually an incredibly unique skin-contact expression that subverts traditional white winemaking rules. Hand-harvested from mature Chenin vines rooted in the classic clay and limestone matrix of the Loire, the whole grape clusters undergo an anaerobic carbonic maceration for roughly three weeks. This unusual skin contact coaxes out a light golden-amber hue, pulling texturized phenols and slight skin tannins into the juice while completely leaving heavy, angular extraction aside. Natively fermented with wild yeasts and aged inside neutral stainless steel tanks to emphasize clarity, this zero-compromise orange wine balances Chenin's hallmark laser-like acidity with a rich, complex core of dried orchard fruit and floral honey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Le Facteur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47469530579093,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1718\/0053\/files\/DomaineLeFacteurLaBambocheVDFWhite2022.jpg?v=1781920312","url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/domaine-le-facteur-la-bamboche-vdf-white-2022-750ml-orange-wine-bottle-12-5-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
