Soie d’Ivoire Chenin Blanc


Wines are always more special when they are a gift from a good friend. On thid occasion a bottle of La Lisse Soie d'Ivoire from the Haute Valley De L'Aude of Southern France.


From the south of France "soie d'ivoire" or "ivory silk," shows us just how versatile Chenin Blanc can be. Naturally high in acid, Chenin Blanc keeps its freshness even in warm temperatures


Chenin Blanc is a white or sparkling, dry or sweet wine produced from the grape variety of the same name. It’s typically redolent of fruit, vivid with mouthwatering acidity, or — in the best cases — both. The popularity of Chenin Blanc has been growing for years, especially among so-called New World producers who are finding exciting locations from South Africa to California to grow it and creative, often forward-thinking ways to make it, whether through inventive work with the lees, experimenting with aging vessels, and more. No matter what style you’re considering, Chenin Blanc wines offer the potential to appeal to a range of taste and texture preferences.


This is a wonderful wine featuring a silky lemony densey fruit filled long lasting delighful experience. The smooth finish is also exciting.
