Les Choisilles Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2020

14.5%. 🍎 apples, ripe, a big wine. Really well done yet over the top for me. Apple pie. A fantastic wine for asian food! I had a hard time with this one! On one side I was smitten and on the other side I was wondering what could this wine be with this quality grape material picked earlier and therefore less alcohol and more elegance? — 10 months ago

Aged Muscadet. More complex than expected. Citrus, white fruit on a intense frame of acid and minerals. Refreshing and perfect pairing with pan sautéed halibut. — 4 years ago
