Country: France  Region: Languedoc Limoux  Varietal: Chenin Blanc 100% Vintage: 2020 Colour: White Style: Dry Producer: Boutinot Estate Description:  The Chenin Blanc grape variety originally hails from the Loire Valley before it was planted near Limoux in the Haute Vallée de L ’Aude. Here in the south, but importantly planted at altitude on the cooler, abrupt hillside slopes of clay and limestone in the foothills of the Pyrenees, it is one of the latest to be picked, achieving full ripeness yet retaining a refreshing crispness.  Hints of caramel and brioche lead to a densely fruity peach palate with great texture and a clean, lifted finish.  Tasting Note: This ripe yet crunchy fruit gives this wine its freshness, vigour and spine and at the same time its luscious texture which is further complemented and enriched from one third vinified and matured for nine months in seasoned French oak. A delicious wine, crisp and dry with refreshing acidity and a hint of creaminess, with mouth filling ripe fruit and a long lingering finish.  Food Matches:  Savoury- Fish, Shellfish, Spicy, Asian Sweet- Fruit Pastry, Apple Pie, Tarte Tatin, Tiramisu
