Taste Block

Tasting Notes

Buoyant stone and orchard fruit plus citrus notes lead to green apple, quince, and a hint of mandarin zest, followed by nuances of apple blossom, spice, lanolin, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is all about precision and depth, with a firm mineral spine supporting its fruit. Just-ripened apple, pear and white peach flavors mirror the nose, balanced by flavors of quince and dry honey. The finish is dry and steady, marked by chalky texture and subtle almond tones.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Chenin Blanc’s taut acidity, orchard-fruit purity, and subtle mineral grip make it a natural match for clean, savory dishes with delicate richness. Its mix of apple, quince, and gentle floral notes complements fresh herbs, light aromatics, and preparations with a hint of creaminess, while its chalk-driven texture supports both lean proteins and vegetable-forward plates. The wine pairs best with Loire-style goat cheeses, simply prepared fish or poultry, and dishes where bright flavors and quiet earthiness bring out its precision and finesse.

About the Producer

Francois et Julien Pinon is based in Vernou-sur-Brenne in the heart of the Vouvray appellation. The Pinon family has farmed vineyards in this sector of Touraine for generations, with François Pinon assuming leadership of the estate in the late 20th century and gradually shaping its modern identity. His work established the domaine as one of the reference producers in Vouvray, particularly for age-worthy dry and demi-sec Chenin Blanc.
