What a find in high-quality, value-priced, completely dry Chenin Blanc. Hailing from Limoux, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, these grapes would normally end up in a Cremant. However, in this case, the grapes are left on the vine much longer, achieving full ripeness yet retaining refreshing crispness.
The name of the wine literally translates to "soft Ivory silk," and while there definitely is a plush texture here, there's also wonderful lift provided by Chenin's bright natural acids. It all adds up to a wonderful drinking experience.
2022 La Lisse 'Soie d'Ivoire' Chenin Blanc: Here's why you should buy it:
- Talk about a wine that will appeal to lots of different palates! It's perfect for everyday sipping, for parties where you need to make lots of folks happy, and with or without food.
- The texture is downright luxurious and luscious without losing freshness and nerve. The wine sees aging in neutral French oak, which adds to the silky smooth palate.
- It smells just as good as it tastes. Ripe peach, golden apple, nectarine, and spice are present in the bouquet and on the medium- to full-bodied palate.
- Enjoy this brilliant value with spicy Szechuan, Thai, or Indian dishes. Also great with crab cakes, scallops, and other richer seafood dishes.
