CERTIFIED ORGANIC
Christine de Mianville debuted in our portfolio late last year to the delight of established Chenin Blanc fans (myself included), and in the process, gained more than a few new ones. Like her wines, Christine is both layered and focused—she’s been a student, educator, and maker of wine for decades. The 2017 Chant de Vigne is a single-vineyard bottling whose age lends a soft, drawn butter richness to its bright, tart citrus palate, like notes of mandarin stretching into saltwater taffy. It is a signature of Christine’s to hold back vintages until they’re ready for release, and this one is truly prismatic. —Allyson Noman, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
