DOMAINE de NOIRÉ CHINON AMPORHA BLANC AOC 2019

The Domaine de Noiré Amphora Blanc is a pinnacle expression of Chenin Blanc, crafted in the heart of Chinon, Loire. This prestigious cuvée is matured in Italian amphora, a traditional method that enhances its purity and finesse. With its light golden hue and exceptional balance, this dry white wine captures the elegance and minerality synonymous with the Chinon terroir. A true masterpiece, it pairs beautifully with seafood, rich fish dishes, and fine cheeses.

19/20 (95) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, September 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"Bright, pale yellow, even colour throughout. This has a gentle, calming bouquet, with aromas of stonefruit, apple and citrus, underlying floral, minerals and lanolin. Medium-bodied, stonefruit, apple and lemon aromas are well-proportioned, melded with ginger, cardamom, honeysuckle, lanolin and minerals. The mouthfeel is voluptuous and unctuous, made of chalky minerals and ripe phenolics. Beautifully gentle acidity and a creamy texture carry the flavours and minerals to a lengthy finish. This is a textural Chenin Blanc shows excellent fruit, spice and minerals on a voluptuous palate. Match with smoked oysters and pork head terrine over the next 5-8 years. Estate vineyard, 100% Chenin Blanc, 30-50 y.o. vine age, handpicked, indigenous yeast fermented in amphorae and aged on fine lees for 6 months. 14% alc."
