Kermit Lynch:

Christine de Mianville is a Jasnires specialist who handcrafts tiny quantities of profound, textured whites in the Loires northernmost outpost for Chenin Blanc. She meticulously farms her single hectare of land organically with the help of her beloved donkeys, Bonnie and Icare, treating her grapes as one would treat preciousgrand crufruit from Frances most prestigious sites. Her wines ferment spontaneously to full dryness, a method that makes it possible to bottle unfiltered. The cuve Dyane captures the pristine fresh fruit Chenin displays from this silex-laden terroir, mirroring the sensation of biting into crisp slices of white peach, nectarine, and guava. Give it a moment to unwind in a carafe before indulging in this spectacular expression of dry Chenin Blanc.
