Couly-Dutheil, Chinon Blanc (Loire Valley, France) 2018

Apr 21, 2021

By Miranda Franco

 Elegant, rich and seductive, this 100 percent Chenin Blanc offers fresh orange peel, fresh pear and melon on the nose.  On the palate, ginger root and honey give way to bright acidity.  This wine is quite a stunner.  It is aromatic with beautiful texture in tandem with uplifting minerality and a fresh finish which lingers endlessly.  It is a brilliant and unique expression of Chenin Blanc.
