The Story
Domaine de Bellivière Prémices 2023 is a precise, terroir-driven expression of Chenin Blanc from the Loire, made by a domaine known for its meticulous, low-intervention approach. It showcases purity, texture and a strong sense of place.
The nose is delicate yet expressive, with citrus, green apple and white pear layered over floral notes and a subtle honeyed, waxy undertone. The palate is clean and finely structured, with vibrant acidity, gentle mid-palate texture and a mineral-driven line that brings focus and length.
Fresh, detailed and quietly complex, this is a Chenin built on tension and finesse rather than weight. It pairs beautifully with seafood, goat cheese, roast chicken or light vegetable dishes, and will gain further nuance with short-term cellaring.
