Vin de France Chenin Blanc La Montagne 2023 Château de Bonnezeaux

What kind of wine is it

Chenin Blanc La Montagne from Château de Bonnezeaux is a dry white wine from the Loire Valley made exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes. Its profile is marked by freshness, tension and a balanced structure, with a pronounced mineral signature. The winemaking process is focused on enhancing aromatic precision and depth, offering a sip that faithfully reflects its terroir.

Where it comes from

This wine originates from the Loire Valley, where Chenin Blanc finds favorable conditions. The vineyards are grown on schist soils, which help preserve acidity and definition, giving the wine a long finish and marked savoriness.

How it is produced

The grapes come from over 70-year-old vines, and harvesting takes place with close attention to phenolic ripeness. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in French oak barrels without filtration preserve integrity and complexity, highlighting authenticity.

Tasting notes

Visually, the wine shows a straw yellow color with golden highlights. Aromas of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, white flowers and honey emerge on the nose, accompanied by subtle mineral notes and a delicate oak spiciness. On the palate it is dry, medium-bodied, with lively acidity and a saline texture. The finish is long, precise and sustained by a persistent minerality.

Food pairings

This Chenin Blanc pairs easily with fish dishes, shellfish and soft cheeses such as brie and camembert. Its acidity and mineral component make it versatile at the table.

When to serve it

Ideal for a gourmet aperitif as well as for seafood meals. In its early years, it expresses tension and fruit, but its structure and oak aging support good bottle evolution. If stored properly, it can be enjoyed for several years, as complexity and minerality integrate further.
