Cuvée du Silex Jasnières Chenin Blanc

Vintage 2015 | No better way to start a new year, with Chenin Blanc! Former notes apply. Paired with halibut and a improvised ratatouille. And cheese.

Oct 27th, 2021Vintage 2015 | Chenin Blanc that is very useful to combine with food. I drank this with 1) rillettes, 2) prunes with bacon from grill, 3) charcuterie. With the prunes it was perfection. Smell with flint, peaches and a hint of papaya, great acidity, but off dry why it combines so good with different foods. Nice to drink a wine from this small appellation with so much potential.

High toned, zippy, and lacy. Delicate floral and fruit aromas paired with brisk citrus notes and a cool and pleasant kiss of bitterness. Pear blossoms, honeysuckle, pineapple quince. Very primary and not much in the way of minerality but I suspect some time in bottle will let that shine. Delicious with thai flavor profiles

Flint, of course, plus yellow apples, white peach, beeswax, and wild flowers. I couldn’t find RS info online but I would put this at the top end of dry, tiptoeing toward off-dry. Notably long finish here, too.
