Our opinion on the vintage
This wine is distinguished by its delicate nose, offering subtle and fruity aromas. On the palate, it seduces with its freshness and elegance, revealing a beautiful complexity with mineral notes. The texture is silky, enriched by aging in oak barrels and stoneware amphorae, which lend it remarkable depth and finesse. This Chenin Blanc is characterized by a long finish, where the flavors linger harmoniously, ending on a fresh and balanced note. A true tribute to its terroir, ideal for pairing with refined dishes.

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.
