Domaine François et Julien Pinon 'Les Déronnières' Vouvray 2022

Domaine François et Julien Pinon’s “Les Déronnières” Vouvray 2022 is a terroir-led, dry Chenin Blanc that captures Vouvray’s hallmark balance: bright orchard fruit, lifted florals, and a chalky-mineral line that keeps everything taut and refreshing. Crafted with a low-intervention mindset and patient élevage, it reads as quietly confident—pure, precise, and built for the table.

Appearance:
Pale straw to light gold, bright and clear, with a faint green-gold glint.

Aroma:
White flowers and lime blossom, crisp pear and green apple, quince and lemon zest, then subtle notes of beeswax, gentle toast, and wet stone.

Taste:
Dry, focused and layered—orchard fruits and citrus up front, followed by a firm spine of acidity and a pronounced mineral/saline edge. Leesy texture adds a silky mid-palate without softening the wine’s linear, energetic shape.

Finish:
Long and mouthwatering, tapering into chalk, citrus pith and a lingering, stony freshness.

Food Pairing:
Seared scallops, crab or lobster with beurre blanc, sushi and sashimi, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, grilled prawns, or fresh goat’s cheese.
