Beau Rivage Chenin Blanc 2017 Review
This wine is sliced-apple-tart, with a slight pucker on the palate. It has a grippy mouthfeel and some river-rock minerality. It also has a fun Loire Valley vibe (where this grape calls home). It’s a great wine for a proper veggie meal of roasted vegetables or squash covered in goat cheese, drizzled with honey with a crack of black pepper.
