2023 „Inter-Val 2e mise“ Chenin Blanc Château de Bonnezeaux Loire 0,75l

A dry Chenin Blanc from Château de Bonnezeaux in Anjou, the 2023 “Inter-Val 2ᵉ mise” brings together the grape’s naturally lively acidity and the Loire’s distinctive sense of freshness and structure. The “2ᵉ mise” indicates a second bottling, though it does not by itself establish how long the wine was aged or how it differs from the first bottling.

Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, expressive profile, with yellow apple, pear, quince and fresh citrus at its heart. Floral hints, herbs and a subtle mineral impression may add further nuance, while Chenin Blanc’s natural acidity lends the wine freshness and definition. On the palate, ripe orchard fruit is likely to meet lively acidity and a lightly rounded texture, with citrus and a gently stony finish. Chenin Blanc can develop greater complexity with age, but no specific drinking window is provided for this bottling.

Production
The wine comes from Anjou in the Loire Valley, where varied geology—including slate, sandstone and other ancient rocks—can contribute mineral character and structural depth. The information provided identifies Chenin Blanc as the grape but does not specify harvesting methods, fermentation details or maturation. Although lees ageing or discreet oak can feature in Chenin Blanc production, neither is confirmed for this wine.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 10–12°C in a generously sized white-wine glass, allowing it a little time to open. It should suit grilled or roasted white fish, scallops, prawns, seafood risotto and goat’s cheese from the Loire. Roast chicken, sautéed mushrooms, fennel and asparagus are also appealing matches. Decanting is not essential, but a short spell of air may help reveal more aromatic detail.

Producer
Château de Bonnezeaux is located in the historic Bonnezeaux area of Anjou, a region especially renowned for sweet Chenin Blanc made from grapes affected by noble rot. The supplied information does not provide further details about the château’s history, its position in the region or specific achievements.
