Description
In a nutshell:
Imagine sun-drenched orchard fruits, a hint of honey sweetness, and a refreshingly zesty finish - that's the magic of this off-dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, a true taste of France's finest.
The lowdown:
This Loire Valley white has a charming mix of freshness and sweet ripeness. Aromas of walnuts, lime, and melon offer a delightful introduction. Made entirely from Chenin Blanc, the grapes were hand-picked for the ideal sugar level necessary for a demi-sec style. Honeyed apple flavours shine on the palate, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. The sweetness never cloys, creating a refreshing, medium-bodied wine with surprising depth and a satisfyingly long finish. A lovely example of Vouvray's unique ability to craft nuanced off-dry wines.
The Producer
Boutinot France has mastered the art of crafting wines as warm and inviting as the southern French sun. Their focus lies in producing approachable bottlings; think juicy fruit, a touch of spice, and a crispness that refreshes. You won't find brooding complexity or demanding structures here. What you will find are reliable, enjoyable wines that happily partner with a casual meal or a chat with friends. For those seeking honest, well-crafted expressions of Provence, the Languedoc, and the Rhône, Boutinot offers a satisfying answer without any unnecessary fanfare.
When to drink:
This off-dry white wine, with its subtle sweetness, is delicious chilled and would pair nicely with a creamy goat's cheese, a piece of flaky smoked mackerel, or even a lightly spiced Asian stir-fry.
