This fabulous Chenin Blanc that is 100% organic, sustainable as well as bright and fresh.
Located on the Loir here, not the Loire, about an hour south of Le Mans, Jasnières is a tiny appellation with just 70ha declared of which Domaine Gigou have eight. Ludovic is using 20-30-year-old vines grown on silex-flecked clay soils to produce outstanding and age-worthy Chenin Blanc with a slightly drier style make this very drinkable right now.
The wine is split into thirds to age in steel, barrel, and egg for 10 months. Richer than you might be expecting, saline minerality and a red apple 'bite', lots of thirst-quenching acidity lead to a very moreish quality.
Versatile with many foods matches with enough richness and ripeness to partner a wide range of dishes but would also drink extremely well on its own.
