Chateau Moncontour Vouvray Sec 2022, Loire Valley, France

This terrific rendition of Chenin Blanc is fermented to dry (sec). Look for ripe yellow apple and a juicy softness of ripe peach, honeyed pear, and lemon meringue flavors kept in focus by a mouthwatering acidity. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a whisper of chalky texture that speaks to its limestone-rich terroir. Chateau Moncontour boasts a winemaking history dating back to the Renaissance. Their ‘Manoca’ Vouvray Sec is a testament to the versatility of Chenin Blanc and the unique microclimate of the region. The grapes are hand-harvested from 30-year-old vines grown on the region’s famous tuffeau limestone soils. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s aromatic purity and vibrant fruit character. Sip this as an aperitif, or don’t hesitate to pair it with food. Try it alongside grilled fish with lemon butter sauce, roasted pork tenderloin, or even an onion tart – this wine can handle it all with grace.
