François Pinon
Le Vouvray Chenin Blanc
Unmistakably Chenin. Honey, lemon oil, and caramel apple. Beautiful balance. Off dry.

Dec 20th, 2017Francois' only still white bottling for 2016 after over 75% of crop was knocked out. Pulls from his 3 main vineyards. Only 1,600 cases.
A truly ethereal Chenin. Ripe juicy white peach, lemon drop candy, honey (upon open I couldn't help but think honey BBQ)/ smokey honey. Fresh garden greens and white flowers. Slightly oxidative nuttiness. Creamy custard. Canned pears.
So good.

I almost forgot how good a well done chenin blanc can be, especially in the hands of masters.
