What to Expect
Chenin Blanc is one of the world's least-known and appreciated great white wine grapes. Originally from France's Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has spread around the globe and is used for virtually all styles of white wine, from crisp and lean to rich, round full table wines, sparkling wines, and some of the most decadent dessert wines made. Classic descriptors for the flavors of Chenin Blanc include peach, honey, lanolin, marzipan, and quince jelly though the dry style from South Africa, where the wines are known as Steen, often exhibits more tropical fruit notes that recall pineapple and guava.

Reviews Add a Review
This is a late harvest white wine that's made from Chenin Blanc grapes that were mildly affected by the noble rot, botrytis. The area of Coteaux de l'Aubance is located near the river Aubance near the city of Angers due west of the area of Bonnezeaux. Yes, this has a sweetness but so much more with minerals, honey and ripe acidity. Brilliant with blue cheese or foie gras. Chill slightly.
