Enjoyed with a dinner of roasted chicken cannelloni with ricotta cheese and a parmesan/tomato cream sauce. Crisp bright flavors of citrus, melon and pear. Enough acidity to stand up to the cream sauce and a touch of sweetness for balance. Thoroughly enjoyed with and after the dinner. Our first taste of a French chenin blanc, and it was a good experience. Only other chenin blanc wine we have found to our liking was a very dry one from a small Texas High Plains producer, Pheasant Ridge.

Floral nose, with nice hints of white peach, lemon and a sulfur-matchstick streak. The palate is quite nice with more lemony and white peach notes with vibrant acidity. Straightforward wine, not complex but it hits the mark. Good buy at 16$. Long finish.

vin conseillé pour manger des sushis épicés. Ce n'était vraiment pas adéquat, le sucre n'apportait rien au plat. Peut-être si il avait été bu seul je l'aurais apprécié.

Fragrant, floral. Touch of sulfur that bothered some in our group. Lime on the finish.
