Le Rocher des Violettes Chenin 2023

Le Rocher des Violettes Chenin is praised for its refreshing, crisp character and elegant finish. It features floral, quince, pear, and tropical fruit notes, with a balance of acidity and sweetness. While some find it a great value with a clean, fruity profile, others feel it falls short compared to peers. The wine's minerality and smooth texture are consistently appreciated.

Exhibiting a luminous straw hue, this Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley captivates with its aromatic bouquet of quince, honeysuckle, and a whisper of wet stone minerality. On the palate, it unfolds with precision, revealing layers of ripe pear, baked apple, and a touch of ginger spice, all framed by a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. The wine's textural richness is balanced by a chalky minerality, leading to a lingering finish marked by subtle notes of almond and citrus zest. This is a quintessential expression of Loire Chenin, showcasing both finesse and depth, ideal for pairing with fine cuisine.
