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.

Magazine

Rating: 92/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 04/09 This is extremely youthful and tightly wound, driven by a powerful backbone of acidity. Its floral, tart lemon flavors feel saturated by chalky minerality, persisting on the finish with clarity, grace and subtly nuanced length. It will be slow to unfold in the cellar, and like all Huet wines, should be capable of remarkable longevity.
