CHENIN BLANC PREMIÈRE RÉCOLTE
Undoubtedly one of the first chenin blanc produced in Quebec, this wine has a beautiful golden color and is distinguished by its herbaceous (hay) and green apple aromas. Vinified to highlight its liveliness and fruitiness, it can be served as an aperitif or with a meal to stimulate conversation around the discovery of this noble grape variety now expressing itself on Quebec soil.
