2023 "Poil de Lièvre" Chenin Blanc
Subtle aromas of pear, honey, and granite. Bright like a 10am sun and fresh like a garden shower, yet structured and rich, 'Poil de Lièvre' Chenin Blanc is a quintessential white wine from Loire Valley, France where the natural wine movement came of age.
Translated as "Hair Of The Hare" Poil de Lievre envelopes us in its aroma of flowery meadows, freshwater springs, almonds, and fresh cut apples.
On the palate, its refreshing acidity is balanced with a honeyed fullness. In the heart, this young and bright wine pairs best with feelings of hope and love.
Great to drink now, but also can age very well within 4-12 years for more honeyed and nutty aromas.
11% abv.

Serve and Pair: Best opened on sunny days with fresh air and warm company. Well-chilled with a range of savory bites from fresh summer salads to rich fish or poultry specialties.
