WINE DESCRIPTION
Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Jean-Maurice Raffault in the Chinon appellation of the Loire Valley in France. The wine is made from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the vineyards that benefit from the region's unique terroir, characterized by limestone and clay soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and well-balanced, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Blanc is a wonderfully aromatic and smooth white wine.On the nose, there are aromas of ripe honeydew melon and white peach, with touches of wet stone and fresh herbs. On the palate, the wine is bright and zesty, with flavors of ripe citrus and green apple, along with a touch of minerality on the finish. A great wine to pair with seafood dishes or a warm summer salad.
