Vintage 2017 / True to type Chenin Blanc > off dry which makes it excellent with starters such as paté. And chicken. And Asian dishes. Seems a crowd pleaser, gives happiness.

Round. Fruit forward. Melons and grapefruit. Not terribly complex but what’s to expect?

Off-dry, unspiced apple sauce, lemon peel, minerality and a touch of baby powder/clean diaper.

One of three chenins at a midtown Manhattan wine shop with staff that didn't know where to help me find a Chenin blanc. Ok value at $20. but a little one sided and simple. nothing to write an essay about.

#OffDry apricot, mandarin orange, lime, salty minerality... Easy drinking. Nice for those who like a touch of residual sugar.
