Chinon: Château de Ligré Blanc 2011

We were first drawn across the Loire to Château de Ligré, on the southern bank, because Pierre and Fabienne Ferrand produce a wonderful rarity in the form of a dry white Chinon. Made from pure Chenin Blanc, this zesty, blossom-scented white wine has attractive citrus tastes and a tingling mineral-edge. It makes for a fabulous aperitif or partner to shellfish.

• Style: White Wine, Dry (Sec), Light-bodied
• Region: Loire, Chinon
• Producer: Pierre & Fabienne Ferrand
• Vintage: 2011
• Grape variety (Cépage): Chenin Blanc
• Wine pairing - drink with: Shellfish
• Cellarage: Capable of ageing gracefully over several years it is, however, charming when very young.
• Vinification: Machine harvested, fully de-stalked grapes undergo a 2 week cuvaison in stainless steel vats. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place. The finished wine is filtered prior to an Easter bottling.
• Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 12.5%
