2020 Domaine de Belliviere L'Effraie Coteaux du Loir

From: Coteaux du Loir, FranceVarietal: Chenin Blanc Taste: The 2020 L'Effraie is a vibrant expression of Chenin Blanc, planted on soils consisting of clay and flint. Influenced by drought, this vintage presents a rich aromatic profile with tangerine, quince, peach, lanolin, and a hint of honeycomb, underpinned by a flinty minerality and a whisper of dried flowers. It's bright and plush on the palate, balancing ripe fruits with a firm, acid-driven backbone and a finish that lingers with elegance and balance.Pairing: With its 92-point rating from John Gilman and its versatile pairing potential, the 2020 L'Effraie shines in its ability to complement a range of foods. From creamy chicken or pork dishes to rich seafood like crabmeat and lobster, this Chenin Blanc will make your evening. The quality of its fruit and its high acidity makes it a perfect companion for Cantonese sweet 'n' sour dishes and a match for lighter meats, rich seafood, and soft cheeses.
