Cuvée du Silex Jasnières Chenin Blanc

Vintage 2015 | No better way to start a new year, with Chenin Blanc! Former notes apply. Paired with halibut and a improvised ratatouille. And cheese.

Jan 1st, 2023Vintage 2015 | Chenin Blanc that is very useful to combine with food. I drank this with 1) rillettes, 2) prunes with bacon from grill, 3) charcuterie. With the prunes it was perfection. Smell with flint, peaches and a hint of papaya, great acidity, but off dry why it combines so good with different foods. Nice to drink a wine from this small appellation with so much potential.

Fruity ‘n flinty. Wet pebbles. Ripe lime, melon and honey. I suspect this is an adolescent. Poured in big glasses and needed time to open up. Still somewhat shy. Promising stuff.

Had by the glass at République. Very delicious Chenin Blanc that had us forgetting about the other options.
