This Chenin Blanc from Montlouis-sur-Loire, particularly from a respected producer like François Chidaine, is likely to be a vibrant and mineral-driven white wine. On the nose, expect notes of green apple, quince, wet stone, and perhaps a subtle hint of citrus blossom or beeswax, with a characteristic ‘wet wool’ or lanolin quality emerging with aeration. The palate will be dry (or very nearly dry), showcasing pronounced acidity, a medium body, and a powerful mineral core. Flavors will echo the aromatics, with crisp orchard fruits and a saline, chalky finish that lingers.
