Marie Thibault 'Premier Nez' Chenin Blanc VDF, 2018

Marie Thibault 'Premier Nez' Chenin Blanc VDF, 2018

Regular price $42.00

This wine is made of 100% Chenin Blanc. Round and dry with quince, walnut, and yellow apple notes, you'll want to pair this with something rich and flavorful. We'd love to have this with a Chinese braised Red Snapper, or 'Hong Shao Yu'. Heat oil in a pan or wok and fry some ginger, before adding your fish, scallions, shaoxing wine (yellow rice wine), Chinese black vinegar, and soy sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and continuously spoon the cooking liquid over your fish for 4-5 minutes per side. Winemaker Marie Thibault is not from winemaking family or classically trained in winemaking, but has produced some of the best Chenin Blanc on the market.

Details

Adapted from the winery:
“Marie wasn't born into this. No one handed her a parcel or a cellar, that's all on her. But fairly early on, she knew she'd be making wine. After studying Biology in Montpellier, she decided to continue with a degree in Oenology, and went on to work in South Africa for a year. When she returned, François Chidaine was looking for someone to help with his new purchase in Vouvray, and Marie was hired, learning all she could from him and falling in love with Chenin Blanc. Starting in 2004, she began to work a small parcel of old-vine Chenin, and her first wine ("Premier Nez") was born. After 4 vintages of working that parcel, she decided to start a looking for new parcels to buy, and fell in love with a little piece of land, just 3.5ha in the middle of nowhere in Azay-le-Rideau, away from the rest of the AOC. Here, she is working the silex and white clay soils organically (she will get her certification as of 2014), with no synthetics, weeded by hand, worked manually, plowed and all that good stuff. Fermentations are with native yeasts, there is no chaptalization, and little to no sulphur is added, creating wines that are fresh, clean, and pure.”
