Why we chose it“Chinon is famous for reds, so this Chenin Blanc is a lovely surprise. Fresh, mineral and quietly serious. Try it with scallops or a simple roast chicken.”

About this wine
Le Clos de la Cure is a bright, expressive Chinon Blanc made entirely from Chenin Blanc, grown on chalk and gravel soils high on the terraces of the Loire Valley. Aromas of crisp apple, ripe pear and Mirabelle plum lead into a lively, youthful palate, where fresh fruit meets a fine, chalky minerality. Ageing on its lees gives the wine a gently rounded texture, so it feels both refreshing and satisfying. It is a lovely discovery for anyone who enjoys Vouvray or other Loire whites with real character.
Domaine Fabrice Gasnier is a family estate in Cravant-les-Coteaux, at the heart of the Chinon appellation, farmed biodynamically since 1998 and certified organic since 2000. Fermentation on wild yeasts lets the vineyard speak clearly, and the wine is suitable for vegans. Serve it lightly chilled with scallops, prawns or white fish, or alongside roast chicken and a vegetable terrine. Chinon is best known for its reds, which makes this rare white a wonderful talking point at the dinner table.
