Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Blanc 2021
Chinon, Touraine, Loire, FranceOnly 2% of Chinon is planted to white, so when you find a Chinon Blanc, you know you're in for a special chenin blanc experience. This organically farmed chenin comes mostly from Ligre's chalky, limestone clay soils, and was native cool fermented in stainless, to preserve the bright, fresh, very special character of chenin on limestone. White florals, blossom honey, Bosc pear, quince, and green apple glide over a lightly waxed base of stones and gently expansive palate, finishing with that characteristic limestone shimmer.Tasted: 30 March 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $25.00 | 750ml | consignment |
