Chenin Blanc is one of the most versatile, white wine grapes in the world. Honeyed, full of fruit, with good balancing acidity and great aging potential, it doesn’t get its just support. In France’s Loire Valley where you see it the most, especially in Vouray, it wears many hats. From bone dry to medium in sweetness, it’s great with fish, seafood, poultry and white meat. Late harvest and sweeter versions are delightful with fruit, desserts and strong cheeses. It is very susceptible to Noble Rot and makes a yummy Icewine. It even renders itself to some decent bubbly. So if you’re looking for a change of pace from the regular, why not give Chenin Blanc a go. You won’t be disappointed.
