Château la Varière 2009 Les Melleresses (Bonnezeaux)

Country: France / Loire Valley
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Winery: Château la Varière / Les Melleresses

A super-rich wine, almost over the top in its honeyed intensity. It is opulent, generous, packed with ripe yellow fruits, mango and pineapple. The wine is so rich that it is hard to find the acidity, but it is there in the orange marmalade flavor right at the end.
