Chenin Blanc
Dry white wine, sparkling wine, and sweet wine made from Chenin Blanc can be found in both the old and new world. The style of Chenin Blanc can vary greatly, ranging from dry and vibrant with notes of lemon and lime to rich and dense with nutty flavors.
Chenin Blanc is primarily grown in the Loire Valley and South Africa, but can also be found in Languedoc and California. Its versatility is what makes it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
From crisp, mineral-driven chenin blanc wines of Anjou and Savennières to luscious, botrytised dessert styles from Quarts de Chaume, this grape showcases remarkable range. In South Africa, chenin blanc wine has become a national flagship, often displaying stone fruit and honeyed tones, whether as still or sparkling. New World producers in California and beyond craft both refreshing and barrel-aged styles, with growing interest in natural and skin-contact expressions as well.
Whether you’re after a lively aperitif, a gastronomic white for seafood, or a contemplative sweet wine with ageing potential, chenin blanc delivers. Explore our curated selection of chenin blanc wines that highlight its multifaceted nature and the talent of small, sustainable producers.
