Château de la Roulerie - Anjou Blanc Le P'tit Chenin 2023
"An explosion of fruit in this refreshing white wine!"
This P'tit Chenin beautifully showcases the varietal character of the grape: liveliness, with aromas of yellow plums and flowers. With excellent balance and complexity on the finish, this superb white wine is perfect as an aperitif and also pairs well with dishes featuring subtle spices, as well as exotic and Asian cuisines.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Philippe Germain—brother of Thierry Germain of the Domaine des Roches Neuves in Saumur-Champigny—also works with Chenin on schist soils! He cultivates 37 hectares organically (out of a total of 43) in a magnificent setting, with the château overlooking the Saint-Aubin valley. More delicate pressing, slightly less ripeness at harvest for the whites, and less sulfur during vinification were the adjustments that significantly advanced the estate, which joined the Germain family in 1996. Philippe took the reins in 2004 with the firm intention of elevating it to the highest level. Starting in 2010, a turning point became evident, and the wines gained depth and brilliance. It is a reliable choice, built on care and hard work—well done.

About the estate:
Run by Philippe and Marie Germain since 2004, Ch. de la Roulerie owes its reputation to the sweet wines produced in the village of Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné. The same meticulous standards are applied to the production of red wines. The vineyard, which is organically farmed, covers 40 hectares.

Chenin, or "melon," reminds me of Jasnière—a dry wine, or a sweet one if you let it age, doesn't it?

Don't miss out on this little Chenin, available for under 10 euros—after that, it'll be 11. With a crisp attack and well-balanced acidity, it's the perfect wine to share with friends while you fire up the grill.

This Chenin is just the way we like it: lively, with just the right amount of acidity and aromas of white flowers. It has a lovely pale color, which only adds to its appeal.
