Expert Rating:

Michel Autran Les Enfers Tranquilles is an extraordinary Chenin Blanc crafted exclusively from grapes in the lieu-dit Les Enfers, aptly named 'hell.' Grown in a well-exposed region south of Noizay, Michel tends 1.5 hectares of 50-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils known as 'perruches.' Fermentation commences in steel and gracefully progresses to gravity-racked barrels sourced from Vincent Carême (4-12 years old). Following a year, the wine finds its way to stainless steel tanks, resting for an additional 12 months. This sulfite-free marvel incorporates only a minimal percentage of sulfur at bottling, resulting in Les Enfers Tranquilles, a testament to meticulous winemaking and terroir expression.
