La Lisse Soie d'Ivoire Chenin Blanc 750ml

Planted at altitude on the cooler, abrupt hillside slopes of clay and limestone in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Chenin Blanc from this region would normally be destined for a Cremant de Limoux. However, in this case, the grapes are left on the vine much longer and it is one of the latest varieties to be picked, achieving full ripeness yet retaining a refreshing crispness. The ripe yet crunchy fruit gives La Lisse Soie d’Ivoire its freshness, vigour and spine as well as luscious texture, which is further complemented and enriched by partial vinification and maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak.
