Killer Chenin Blanc! Pairing with Capriole's Wabash Cannonball. The cheese is an ash covered, thin skinned, goat cheese. This is a match made in heaven and in my mouth!

Premiers essais de cuvée sans soufre
Couleur jaune clair
Nez puissant terpénique puis paille et la roche arrive avec violence
Bouche mûre et puissante presque trop un vin d accord

Textbook beautiful Loire Chenin. Apple and subtle petrol notes upfront recede as some wax and lanolin start moving to the fore. Intensely mineral core and great acidity.Overwhelmingly clean, elegant feel overall.

Medium to medium minus lemon. Macadamia nuts, bruised apples or apple sauce, savory, ginger snaps. Guess: Jura Chardonnay 2013 or older Chenin Blanc. High acidity, medium sugar, medium alcohol
