Rouchefert Chenin Blanc VdF, Jean-Christophe Garnier 2020

Originally from Brittany, Jean-Christophe spent years working as a sommelier in upscale restaurants when he became obsessed with natural wines and some of the winemakers who make them. He started his own winemaking venture in St-Lambert-du-Lattay in 2002 with only 2.3 hectares after mostly on-the-job training with Mark Angeli in Anjou (La Ferme de la Sansonnière) and Pierre Parcé in Banyuls (la Rectorie).

Golden yellow colour with a hint of bronze, rich nose of cut apples, yellow orchard plums followed by notes of sherry and beeswax finishing with crisp acidity.
