Cuvée: Galaxy Caaaaaaat II Colour: White Region: Loire Grape Variety: Chenin Blanc & Cabernet Franc as a blanc de noirs Appellation: Vin de France Alcohol: 10.5% Size: 75cl Tasting Eye: lemon yellow colour, straw-coloured reflections Nose: lemon, lime, citrus, raspberry Palate: this dry white wine is a burst of freshness, a discharge of lively acidity. The citrus fruit sparkles, carried by a biting mineral texture. The finish is clean, a crystalline wave that awakens the senses and leaves you salivating. Terroir Lowland vineyards with soils composed of schist and limestone alterations. Winemaking process Biodynamic viticulture. Hand-picked harvest, with grapes sorted on the vine. Spontaneous fermentation (indigenous yeasts), vinification without added sulphites, bottling without filtration, clarification nor addition of sulphites. The ingredients used are simple: healthy grapes. Chenin Blanc: Varenne du Poirier plot, soils of grey-black schist from the Precambrian period (610 to 570 million years ago). East-west exposure on a high plain (Varenne also means plain). Vines planted in 2009. First matured for 6 months in 225-litre barrels, then racked and matured in fiberglass vats before blending. Cabernet Franc: Champ du Moulin plot, soils of altered limestone and sandstone schists from the Tertiary period (23.5 to 5.3 million years ago). Vines planted in 2010. Direct pressing of deliberately under-ripe grapes. The slightly pink colour of the first juices disappears after settling. Aged in stainless steel vats. Early blending of the two grape varieties after vinification. Bottled according to the lunar cycles. Winemaker This wine is a "four- hand", created by Christophe Kaczmarek and Jean-François Vaillant, winegrower at Domaine Les Grandes Vignes in Black Anjou (called “black” due to the schist soils). The wines are made, blended, bottled and packaged on the estate. From the vine to the cellar, everything is done with the aim of respecting nature, regenerating the soils, promoting biodiversity.

Festive moments Light, trendy aperitifs: Galaxy Caaaaaaat II is perfect with light tapas such as shrimp kebabs, avocado verrines or smoked salmon crackers. Dishes based on crunchy or marinated vegetables: asparagus salad, homemade pickles, etc. Starters Fresh goat's cheese salad with green apples and walnuts: a lively, crunchy combination. Fish tartar (sea bream, trout, salmon or tuna): the freshness of the wine balances the melt-in-the-mouth texture and acidity of the tartar. Main dishes Oysters or seafood: the sharp acidity of Galaxy Caaaaaaat II sublimates the salinity and freshness of the shellfish. Sushi and sashimi: a perfect marriage where the wine underlines the purity of the raw fish and the umami touch of the soy sauce. Lemon chicken with ginger: the wine's tension works well with the bright, spicy flavors. White fish ceviche: a great classic for very lively wines, where the acidity of the dish resonates with that of the wine. Cheeses Fresh or lightly ripened goat's cheese: a perfect match for acidity and freshness. Feta marinated in herbs: the salinity of the feta balances the energy of the wine.
