Loire Chenin Blanc is characterized by its distinctive high acidity and chalky minerality, with notes of flowers, straw and honey.
Spanning the Loire River as it flows out to the Atlantic Ocean, the region has diverse soils and climates, meaning Chenin Blanc comes in all different styles. Because of the grape's inherent high acidity, Chenin Blanc's charm can be lost in cooler vintages, with the acid overpowering.
