Garovin Vin de France Chenin Blanc

Hailing from the schist soils south of the Layon river, Garovin manages to pull off the elusive trick of making a richly textured Chenin Blanc that retains plenty of zing. Perhaps this comes from the blend of old and young vines? Maybe from the precise winemaking without any additives or the slow aging in barrels in his very cold cellar? The exact answer may never be known, but the wine is delicious with richly flavored or spiced foods that match well with the intense depths of this white wine.
