Chenin
Chenin on the Loire’s south bank, from dry whites to sweet wines and fine bubbles.
Apple, pear and quince with bright acidity. Dry, off-dry and sweet bottlings differ substantially.
Citrus and orchard fruit with fine bubbles and a fresh finish; sweetness varies by bottling.
The same grape makes several styles. Sec is dry, demi-sec has some sweetness, and moelleux is sweeter; pétillant and mousseux indicate bubbles.
Montlouis-sur-Loire. 1 wine in Australia.
