Chenin Blanc is from grapes grown in Chinon, part of the Loire Valley wine region of France. This particular wine region is warmer than others yielding a wine with riper fruit flavors and richer mouthfeels than different wines from the Atlantic coasts. You'll likely find notes of peach, apricot, honeydew melon, and white flowers on the nose and palate. The acidity is on a more moderate level, allowing for the fruits to shine through. Pairings for this richer, riper Chenin Blanc would include roast chicken, baked fish, creamy pasta dishes, goat cheese.
