Developing a companion for Cinsault was no great difficulty for this Chenin Blanc specialist! Over the last few years, Chris Alheit has built up a "library" of old vines, some of which have not found their way into the domaine's parcel-based cuvées... Here they are! All the generosity of Chenin, with crisp apple notes, in a single bottle!
