Les Volets Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc may not enjoy the same popularity as, for example, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, but it has become a truly indispensable addition to any wine cabinet. Chenin Blanc originates in the Loire Valley, where for centuries it has produced the most fabulous wines. However, this grape was discovered by another major wine-producing country, South Africa. Together with the Loire Valley, they ensured that Chenin Blanc wines became increasingly popular worldwide. Vines can now be found all over the world, including in the south of France.
