Les Atheltes Du Vin Chenin

If you enjoy whites that are juicy yet precise, this Chenin brings the best of both worlds. It offers clean orchard fruit and citrus, but with a spine of acidity and minerality that keeps it engaging. It’s versatile, reliably good, and a satisfying choice whether you’re sipping solo or pairing with food.
