Six months on lees for a more tactile finish that sits soft and lets all the lemon pulp, orchard fruits and honey soak into your palate and warm your soul. Loire Valley Chenin is a special thing so this is a great gifting wine.

Béatrice et Pascal Lambert Le Droit Chenin Blanc Chinon 2023

For a lovely, floral lift, throw in honey and apples. It’s a Sec/Dry styled Chenin – meaning there’s a lovely texture, and stays mineral and composed in feel. Will be mind-blowing with the fancy or budget Brie, no matter when you serve it.
