I can't imagine there's anyone who wouldn't want to drink the 2022 Montlouis Les Bournais. It's a hands-off, carefully crafted Chenin. Grown on clay-limestone soils, the result is elegant and tender with a lovely chalky line on the drawn-out finish. Considering the drought and heat of the 2022 season, it's a credit that it retains fresh pear fruit and floral notes alongside mouthwatering acidity. Hints of lees-derived nutty pastry join the fruit flavors
