Catherine & Pierre Breton 'La Dilettante' Vouvray, 2024 heavy beer but now presented unaged inThis is 100% Chenin Blanc from sunny Vouvray. This wine and all the estate's Vouvray's for that matter is a pet project of Catherine's, not made by Pierre. It comes from 40 year old vines planted in a flinty clay soil.

It's a perfect wine for the changing seasons, and can be paired with soy honey glazed
