This Chenin Blanc hails from the Ajou region of the Loire. What makes it so unique is that the grapes are affected by Noble Rot, but instead of being made into a sweet wine, it's actually fermented until there is no residual sugar making it completely dry. Subtle notes of persimmon and candied ginger at first, leading into almost overripe nectarine and mango. A beautiful bouquet of spice and flowers come through on the finish along with a high acidity bringing everything together. An absolutely beautiful wine with a twist that makes it very unique!
750ml ml Low StockRobertParker.com Tasting Note (2018 Vintage)
Stephan Reinhardt - 94 Points - "The 2018 Anjou Ronceray assembles all the plots of the Domaine on the Quarts-de-Chaume rump. Its name refers to the abbey of the same name, owner of the Chaume vineyards since the 11th century, reports Ivan Massonat, who stresses the complex geology of the terroir that combines schists and pudding sandstone. The bouquet of the golden-yellow 2018 is noble, perfectly ripe and concentrated in its elegant stone fruit aromas that intermingle with precise and refreshing slate as well as lemony notes. Filigreed, finessed and perfectly round and intense on the palate, this is a gorgeous Chenin with intense fruit, lush fruit concentration, lots of extract, fine tannins but also finesse and balance. Grapefruit bitters on the finish. To me, this is a picture-book Anjou from Rochefort-sur-Loire, and it is characterized by richness, finesse and elegance. Irresistible. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted in June 2021.
This is one of the most spectacular new entries in the history of The Wine Advocate, and it makes the Loire, especially its tributary, Layon, one of the most fascinating terroirs in the Anjou region. Domaine Belargus is the name that should soon populate the world's finest wine lists, especially since the prices are—still?—affordable."

The Cuvee de Silex from Domaines des Aubuisieres is made from mostly hand-picked five-plus decade-old Chenin Blanc vines in the Loire Valley.
A luxurious white from the famous Bernard Fouquet who is both passionate and meticulous -- which is why he is a great winemaker. His Vouvray is highly prized worldwide and lauded by wine critics. Organically farmed and dry with notes of apple, pear and chestnut along with fresh quince. Refreshingly bright, chalky and zesty.

Similar to the Loire region in France, South Africa and Chenin Blanc pair together very nicely. This 100% Chenin Blanc (or Steen as it is sometimes called locally) comes from the Swartland region. It is produced by the Mullineux family and it fermented in both tanks and used French oak barrels in order to create a balanced wine with both silkiness and acidity.
Try pairing this versatile Chenin Blanc with Gruyere cheese, veal parmigiana, Chinese take-out, smoked salmon, or even turkey dinner.

Serious bubbles that are consistently the "best value in its appellation" - this is not just a great value, it is also a favourite of both Kensington Wine Market staff AND the staff of our next-door neighbour's Peasant Cheese!
The Chenin Blanc of Vouvray brings riper citrus and tree fruit to the bready flavours of Methode Traditionelle and racy, mineral acidity from the Loire Valley soils. A great bubbly with flavour, ripeness, and minerality - at a very approachable price. Buy a bottle and take it over to Peasant Cheese and they will be happy to recommend a cheese pairing!
