Dom. Fouet 2022 L'Ardillon Saumur Blanc (Chenin Blanc)

This new vintage of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc is a case study in Chenin’s myriad aromatic properties. The wine is positively swimming in textural allure and tufa-anchored minerality. Though Sauvignon Blanc is the valley's best-known white grape, their Chenin Blanc is the first love of many Loire aficionados!

Julien Fouet took over the family winery after the premature passing of his father in 2016. Having long used organic practices, Julien is also on track for being certified by Ecocert. Among the changes he has instituted are “eco-pâturage”, or, put another way, using sheep to weed and fertilize his vineyards.
