Grande Provence Chenin Blanc

The Grande Provence Chenin Blanc is a testament to the luxurious and robust style of this beloved varietal. It presents a rich and full-bodied approach to Chenin Blanc, demonstrating how well this grape can express itself when nurtured to its fullest potential.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: This Chenin Blanc bursts with vivid aromas of gooseberries, guava, and pineapple, offering a tropical and refreshing bouquet that immediately captivates the senses. The fruit aromas are complemented by very subtle oak influences, which introduce almond and nutty flavors, adding depth and complexity without overpowering the vibrant fruitiness.
Palate: On the palate, this wine is full, round, and luscious. It beautifully balances the intense fruit flavors with a creamy and nutty character from the oak. The body of the wine is substantial, enveloping the palate with a rich texture that is both luxurious and satisfying.
Finish: The finish is dry, yet it lingers long in the mouth, leaving a lasting impression of both the fruit and oak nuances. This enduring finish makes the wine memorable and marks it as exceptional in its category.
Food Pairing:
Given its full body and rich profile, this Chenin Blanc pairs excellently with hearty dishes that can match its intensity. It is ideal with rich seafood dishes such as lobster or creamy scallop risotto, and can also complement poultry dishes with creamy sauces or a selection of mature cheeses. The wine’s robust nature also makes it suitable for pairing with spicy Asian cuisine, where its fruitiness can balance spicy flavors.

Serving Suggestions:
To fully enjoy the Grande Provence Chenin Blanc, serve it chilled but not overly cold, around 10-12°C (50-54°F). This temperature allows the wine’s full range of flavors and aromas to express themselves without being muted by the cold.

Overall Impression:

It is perfect for those who appreciate a more pronounced and richer style of white wine, offering complexity, depth, and an unforgettable tasting experience. Whether enjoyed alone or with food, this Chenin Blanc promises to deliver pleasure and sophistication in every sip.
