Le Chenin d'Ailleurs
Loire Valley, France
What’s not to like? Not long but not short. A touch round but also not without a firm backbone. Amazing next to pasta with speck!

I mean...I just wish there was more of this in my life. It’s taken on a rounder mouthfeel since I had it last (6 or so months ago) but it’s still pure Chenin. The nose is a little alcoholic but don’t be fooled...that palate still has all the slate and mineral goodness plus that lemon and orange zest. Can’t wait to get my hands on the next vintage.

A good crisp Chenin Blanc with nice minerality and acidity. Hints of lemon and peach. Will be getting this for my daughter’s wedding
