Chenin Blanc Saumur 'L'Insolite' Domaine des Roches Neuves 2016

Perhaps the secret of this Chenin Blanc can already guess from its name: Insolite. In fact, this wine was born in Saumur, Loire sub known for Cabernet Franc. Of the 20 hectares of Domaine des Roches Neuves only an acre and a half is devoted to Chenin Blanc, while the rest is the kingdom of Cabernet. What makes it even more unusual this wine is its extraordinary quality, correlated with a perfect blend of flavor and texture. L'Insolite is a white wine that surprises and fascinates since its entry into the glass, where the delicate scent of chamomile and acacia blend with a mineral out of the ordinary and notes of ripe fruit and exotic recalling the papaya and mango. The palate is sharp and direct, with a truly amazing flavor and an unusual structure for a white wine so young. A Chenin Blanc that has been able to conquer us and leave us open-mouthed, as only unusual and unexpected things can do. Unusual, such as a Chenin Blanc became a hero in the realm of Cabernet Franc.
