WINE DESCRIPTION
Château de Bonnezeaux swiftly emerged as a highly sought-after Loire producer, despite its 19th-century winemaking history laying dormant for 30 years until Guyonne Saclier de la Batie revived it in 2012. The Anjou estate embraces biodynamics, revitalizing abandoned vineyards. With low yields, hand-harvested grapes, and minimal intervention in the cellar, the dry Chenin Blanc wines are exceptionally concentrated, electric, and textured. These rare "unicorn" wines, introduced with biodynamic practices, mark Château de Bonnezeaux as one of the most thrilling and coveted names in the Loire.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château de Bonnezeaux La Montagne Chenin Blanc is a delightful white wine.It has a light gold hue and aromas of honey, apricot, and lemon zest. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of ripe yellow apple, juicy citrus fruits, and a touch of almond and honey. The finish is long and persistent with a pleasant acidity. This is a great wine for savoring with a variety of dishes.
