Domaine Arnaud Lambert Les Parcelles Chenin Blanc (2023)

From: Anjou, Loire Valley, France Varietal: Chenin Blanc Taste: This wine casts a bright lemon-gold hue and classic Saumur Blanc aromas of Anjou pears, green pineapple, beeswax, and perfumed tuffeau soil. Showing superb cut and tension on the attack, the wine presents a taut mouthful of pear-driven Chenin fruit framed by yellow limestone minerals and electric acidity. Complex suggestions of quince, sweet cinnamon, fresh ginger, lanolin, chamomile, and honeycomb emerge on the wine’s long finish followed by a tactile dusting of salty, lip-coating limestone minerals. This is a gorgeous, ultra high-quality Chenin for a song. Pairing: Pair it with freshwater fish dishes, aged chèvres, recipes featuring chanterelle mushrooms, and roast pheasant. Other beautiful pairings include Lobster Rolls, dim sum, smoked salmon, and fish and chips. We found a recipe by Melissa Clark for Baked Fish and Chips (there’s a video in NYT Cooking!) to share with you today, santé! About. 2022 marks the first vin
