Domaine Du Petit Val Bonnezeaux 2020

Bonnezeaux is located in the Loire Valley, and renowned for producing some of France's finest sweet wines. This appellation is particularly prized for its botrytised Chenin Blanc, which thrives in the region's unique microclimate, influenced by misty mornings and sunny afternoons. The area's clay and schist soils contribute to the distinctive minerality of its wines. Bonnezeaux wines are typically rich, sweet, and well-balanced, showcasing the luscious character of botrytised grapes.

This wine is crafted exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes, celebrated for its versatility and ageability. The 2020 vintage of Domaine Du Petit Val Bonnezeaux is made from carefully harvested grapes affected by noble rot, enhancing concentration and complexity. The wine is vinified with meticulous attention, often involving slow fermentation to preserve aromatics and matured to develop its signature richness and depth.

This vintage presents an opulent bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, honey, and floral nuances, complemented by subtle notes of dried apricot and quince. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity, with a silky texture and a lingering finish imbued with hints of candied citrus and spice.

A sublime companion to fruit-based desserts, blue cheeses, or foie gras. It also pairs beautifully with spiced dishes or simply savoured as a dessert wine on its own. Best served slightly chilled.
