Know your étiquette! Chenin Blanc gets an overdue look-in as we head to its heartland, where it’s often known as Pineau de la Loire.
#Vouvray in the #Touraine district is an appellation that shows the versatility of Chenin, with wines ranging from bone dry to lusciously sweet (some of the most compelling wines land between the two) and more fizz produced than still wine.
Ed Merrison of Vininspo! finds an affordable, accessible rendition that’s apt to scratch the itch while you go hunting for more Chenindulgence. Grown by Famille Bougrier, it comes in a lightweight, screw-capped bottle and can be tracked down at an attractive price.
