2024 Les Petites Roches Chinon Blanc from Chinon is a fresh and mineral-driven white wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc by the renowned estate Domaine Charles Joguet. While Chinon is best known for Cabernet Franc reds, this cuvée highlights the elegance and versatility of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc.
The wine shows lifted aromas of green apple, pear, citrus and white flowers, with subtle flinty minerality. On the palate it is crisp and lively, featuring bright acidity, juicy orchard fruit and a clean, mineral finish that reflects the clay-limestone soils of the vineyard.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Loire Valley Chenin Blanc is one of the styles we love recommending to customers who enjoy fresh, mineral whites with real character. The 2024 Les Petites Roches is bright, precise and beautifully balanced — perfect with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, goat’s cheese or light poultry dishes. It’s a fantastic introduction to the white wines of Chinon.
