Our opinion on the vintage
From the first sniff, this Chenin Blanc intrigues with its fresh, mineral aromas, reminiscent of the schist soils of its native terroir. On the palate, it reveals a beautiful tension and precise structure, with an appealing acidity that perfectly balances the concentration of fruity flavors. The texture is both lively and ample, a testament to the exceptional ripeness of the old vines. The finish, persistent and elegant, prolongs the tasting experience, leaving an impression of purity and masterful balance. A wine to discover for its nuances and depth.
Pierre Ménard
Loire | France
A few rows of Chenin Blanc are all it takes to create a style. Ménard works with micro-parcels, with almost clockwork precision: millimeter-perfect ripening, delicate pressing, patient aging. The wines are straightforward, saline, and profoundly Anjou. In short: they are exquisitely crafted. An estate that has become a cult favorite among wine lovers.
