Staff Pick Notes

Chenin Blanc is one of the worlds white grape varieties, but along with riesling has a propensity for being misunderstood and underappreciated. This is likely due to the fact that they come in a wide range of styles from bone dry to lusciously sweet so I suspect people just aren't sure what to expect.

This chenin from the Coteaux du Layon is made with certified biodynamic grapes from vines planted in 1911. Winemaker Eddy Oosterlinck's passion is sweet wines, but here, the botrytized grapes are fermented to dryness, lending the wine a textured richness with apple, pear and honeyed notes. The acidity keeps everything aloft and makes this an oh so friendly food wine.
