description

This wine is always made with 100% Chenin Blanc. We would pair it with the rich and spicy Nigerian dish of Jollof Rice, with your favorite protein. Chenin, and this one in particular can also go great with rich, custardy desserts like Pastel de Nata. Vouvray is one of the most respected appellations in the Loire Valley, and is known for producing still, dry, off-dry, sweet, and sparkling expressions of Chenin Blanc. This wine is a great example of what an off-dry, mineral driven, apple forward Chenin should taste like. It is rich in texture, but balanced by bright green apple, quince and razor-sharp minerality. There is also a hint of honey and spice in the residual sugar left behind in the bottle. 'Les Trois Argiles' slight sweetness is balanced by all of its tertiary qualities and is exemplary Vouvray. It can be aged to develop more interesting flavor or drunk right away.
