Mission Codename The Lover
Today’s Pierre Chainier 2012 Roc De Châteauvieux Vouvray is a delightful French white from one of the Loire Valley’s preeminent producers.
Today’s wine is crafted from 100% Chenin Blanc, a limited-production varietal which tends to be a bit pricey. Not today! This wallet-friendly treat, which Wine Spectator declares is one of the Top Values to be found in the wine world, can be yours for less than $20.
On the sweeter side for a French Chenin, this wine also presents a beautiful note of acidity, which in combination with the sweetness makes it an ideal match for a rich summer salad or spicy Asian dish. Just be sure to stock up on enough for both!
