From the Fiefs Vendeens wine region in France south of the city of Nantes, not far from the Atlantic, this Chenin Blanc bats way above its pedigree. Made in the style of a Vouvray Sec or Sec Tendre, the wine has cheery brisk apple notes and finishes with captivating mineral nuances. Neither tart nor sweet, this wine hits the perfect spot for lighter dinner fare.
