This wine smells of pineapple and apricot, orange and lemon curd, fresh hay, steel wool and limestone, a complex set of aromas in the finest tradition of Chenin Blanc. Where this wine truly shines is on the palate. The texture is like quicksilver, with just a dusting of tannin and a leesy richness that provides a fitting platform for flavors of ripe peach, melon, kiwi and pear with a delicate herbaceous note. The finish echoes with mango, baking spice, and a touch of white soil. Third generation winemaker Antoine Bodet tends his vineyards sustainably, and works carefully in the cellar to maintain the aromatic purity of his wines on the estate in the very center of the Saumur district. As far as we’re concerned, this is the best Chenin Blanc under $20 we’ve had in a while. Intensity, finesse, and balance are the hallmarks of great Chenin Blanc and you can find all of those in this wine. Pair with classic French duck recipes for best results, but fresh summer fare from the garden will also do nicely.
