Henry Marionnet 2011 Domaine de la Charmoise Vinifera Chenin Blanc (Touraine)

Country: France / Domaine de la Charmoise Vinifera
Variety: Chenin Blanc Loire Valley
Winery: Henry Marionnet / Touraine

Made partly from ungrafted Chenin Blanc planted in 1979, this is an astonishingly opulent wine. It has spice, white currants and acidity, with a tight texture underlying the super-ripe fruit.
