Domaine Bonnigal-Bodet Touraine Amboise Sec Le Clocher Chenin

Tasting Note

Le Clocher Sec Chenin Blanc from Amboise shows a pale golden colour with greenish hues. The nose reveals bright aromas of citrus peel, green apple, white peach, and delicate white flowers, layered with subtle notes of honey, wet stone, and minerality typical of Chenin’s terroir. On the palate, the wine is dry, lively, and fresh, with zesty acidity balanced by a textured, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Flavours of quince, citrus, and a touch of almond lead to a long, crisp, mineral-driven finish.

Food matching: Vegetable tarts and salads with citrus vinaigrettes, oysters, mussels, white fish.

Producer

Domaine Bonnigal-Bodet is located in Limeray (Amboise), in the heart of the Loire Valley. Having been handed down from father to son since 1927, the estate is now run by the fourth generation of the family and long-time best friends Jean Baptiste Bonnigal and Stéphane Bodet, who took over together in 2015.

The vineyards themselves are stretched across a large range of terroirs, with a multitude of local grape varities, including Chenin Blanc, Côt, Sauvignon Blanc and Pineau d’Aunis.
