Goustine, Caresse Calcaire 2024

Goustine Caresse Calcaire 2024 is a Loire Chenin Blanc that captures the fresh, mineral-driven character the region is famous for. Its “calcareous caress” speaks to a wine shaped by chalky soils, giving it a bright, precise style with real elegance and charm.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a pale, luminous straw-gold colour. The nose is likely to show crisp orchard fruit, citrus peel, white flowers, and a subtle mineral note that adds lift and definition. On the palate, this should be a dry, focused Chenin Blanc with lively acidity, flavours of green apple, pear, lemon, and a fine chalky edge. Depending on the style, a gentle texture may round out the finish, while the mineral backbone gives it good balance and the potential to develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Produced in the Loire, this wine draws its character from the region’s cool climate and calcareous soils, which are especially well suited to Chenin Blanc. The combination of careful vineyard work and a vinification approach aimed at preserving freshness and purity helps maintain the grape’s naturally vibrant acidity and expressive terroir-driven profile.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C. It pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, grilled white fish, goat’s cheese, asparagus, and light poultry dishes. Decanting is not usually necessary, though a brief opening in the glass can help the aromatics unfold.

Producer
Goustine is presented as a Loire producer focused on expressing the nuance of its local terroir through varietal wines like Chenin Blanc. While detailed background information is limited here, the name suggests a craft-driven approach rooted in the region’s long tradition of producing fresh, mineral whites with strong identity.
