2024 Le Carillon de Vendôme Chenin Blanc (750ml)

2024 Le Carillon de Vendôme Chenin Blanc - Loire Valley, France

Sharing a latitude with Chablis, the Coteaux du Vendômois is France's northernmost outpost for the Chenin Blanc grape. Less boreal regions can render Chenin into lavish, opulent wine, but the paradigm of the Vendômois zestily merges vivid aromatic intensity with rapier-like freshness and charmingly austere pomaceous fruit. This version is saline and mouth-watering, ready to provide frisky counterpoint to both pasta features.
