La Lisse Soie d’Ivoire Chenin Blanc

Planted at altitude on the cooler, abrupt hillside slopes of clay and limestone in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Chenin Blanc from this region would normally be destined for a Cremant de Limoux. However, in this case, the grapes are left on the vine much longer and it is one of the latest varieties to be picked, achieving full ripeness yet retaining a refreshing crispness. Gently citrussy and herbal aromas lead to a densely fruity, peachy palate with great texture and a clean, lifted finish.
