Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Blanc 2024

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. Juicy and lively, with orange blossom, crunchy pear, white peach, and crystalline lemon buzzing along the stony palate to a lemon twist. Super smart chenin, and great value.Tasted: 05 March 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
