{"product_id":"chateau-soucherie-ivoire-chenin-blanc","title":"Château Soucherie Ivoire Chenin Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003eChenin Blanc from Anjou is one of the most versatile white wines in France – and the “Ivoire” from Château Soucherie shows why: short aging in wooden barrels gives the wine depth without slowing down the varietal tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Château Soucherie is located in the Layon Valley, one of the most prestigious sub-regions of Anjou in the western Loire Valley. The schist and sandstone soils define the winery\u0026#39;s style: cool, mineral, and precise. Chenin Blanc is at home here – the grape variety is known in the Loire as \u0026quot;Pineau de la Loire\u0026quot; and ripens more slowly here than elsewhere, giving it its characteristic acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the Ivoire displays aromas of quince, ripe pear, and white blossoms – elderflower or acacia. The brief aging in oak barrels adds a delicate, well-integrated hint of toast, which doesn\u0026#39;t overpower the fruit but rather enhances its richness. On the palate, the wine is racy and elegant: medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and a mineral finish that lingers slightly. The texture remains lean and fresh without feeling thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eServing suggestion:\u003c\/b\u003e Served at 10–12 °C, it pairs well with scallops with brown butter, white asparagus with hollandaise sauce, fried prawns, or mild goat cheese. Also a good choice as an aperitif with olives or puff pastry bites. Best enjoyed now until 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Soucherie","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":52695046226256,"sku":"V10348","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2022","offer_id":52888283218256,"sku":"V10348-2022","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_ch_c_ateau_soucherie_ivoire_chenin_blanc.webp?v=1771238457","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/chateau-soucherie-ivoire-chenin-blanc","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
