Loire Valley, France — 100 % Chenin Blanc
Crunchy green apple skin and ripe Bosc pear aromas leap forth, merging into a savoury thread of chalky minerality. The palate has a vibrant fizz and salivating energy. Flavours of green citrus, light white stone-fruit and a hint of pastry from extended lees (36 months) ageing interplay with tight acidity, leading into a long, clean mineral-inflected finish. Pair with oysters on the half shell, lemon-herb marinated scallops, or a soft goat’s cheese with honey and thyme. Perfect for an aperitif to dinner or as a crisp counterpoint to richer seafood dishes. Known for biodynamic viticulture, old-vine Chenin Blanc on flinty and limestone soils, and a slow, natural-yeast vinification.
