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.

Winemakers Notes

Chenin Blanc: Le Mont lies on the slopes of the Loire, and here the soils are more stony, with less clay which is also of a different, greener character, mixed with some silica.

Huet is the considered to be the master of Vouvray, creating wines that can age for decades. Le Mont is a hillside vineyard overlooking the Loire, creating a softer style wine. This Chenin Blanc shows notes exquisite aromas of honeysuckle flowers. The crisp acidity and minerality that contribute great structure to the wine. Drink with a light chill.

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 04/09 This is fuller bodied and darker in tone than the Haut-Lieu (recommended above), reflecting this site's deeper clay soils. It combines a richly fragrant depth of fruit with a tightly focused structure and grip, managing to feel both racy and broad at the same time.
