Les Arpents Chenin Blanc Vin du Pays - Val du Loire

The Loire is one of the most overlooked wine regions in all the world, but for most knowledgeable wine drinkers, it is among the most respected as white wines - especially Chenin Blanc - enjoy a character that has proven unduplicated anywhere else in the world. The 2007 Les Arpents is grown in one of the northern vineyards between the two famous sites of Anjou and Touraine. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, les Arpents benefits from a cool microclimate that allowed the grapes to retain fine fruit acidity, giving the wine a crisp and juicy character. Sharp minerality and a supple finish of citrus and pear makes this a perfect wine for your seafood du jour.
