"La Lisse Soie d'Ivoire Chenin Blanc is a bright, lemony and richly textured wine with a long, expressive finish that is as smooth (lisse) as silk (soie).
Originally from the Loire Valley, the Chenin Blanc grape has found an ideal home near Limoux in the Haute Vallée de L’Aude. Planted at altitude on the cooler, steep clay and limestone slopes of the Pyrenean foothills, the vines ripen slowly, allowing the grapes to develop full flavour while retaining a refreshing natural acidity. This balance of ripe yet vibrant fruit gives the wine its freshness, energy and structure, while adding to its generous, silky texture.
One third of the wine is fermented and matured for nine months in seasoned French oak, adding further depth and complexity. Aromas of caramel and brioche lead to a richly concentrated palate of peach fruit, with excellent texture and a clean, lifted finish.
A versatile food partner, this wine is excellent with grilled fish, chicken and salads, as well as Cape Malay curries, spicy mango salads and vibrant pan-Asian cuisine."
