Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(7/2018) "Lemon-straw color with an unfiltered appearance. Aromas of pineapple, orange zest, ginger and crushed stone, plus a positive suggestion of oxidation that quickly dissipated. Bone-dry, salty wine with a tart lemon drop character, distinct minerality and some unabsorbed CO2. In an extremely austere style but shows more body than its 11.5% alcohol would suggest. Hipster sommelier alert: this one's for you. For all others: you've been warned."

Breussin Vouvray Demi-Sec 2015
90
Our Score
(1/2017) Breussin has been a Vin Chicago favorite for years, consistently producing balanced and affordable Chenin Blancs. This Demi-Sec Vourvray gives just the right amount of sweetness, making it a perfect partner with a huge variety of spicy fare. Fresh, chalky and high in acidity, we find the classic ripe apple flavor to be especially enticing.

Domaine le Capitaine "Cuvee Adrien" Vouvray Demi-Sec 2018
90
Our Score
(11/2019) Here's a super tasty, smartly priced off-dry Chenin Blanc from brothers Alain and Christophe Le Capitaine. Vouvray with a little sweetness requires balance, which is exactly what you find here. Bruised pear, tangerine and yellow apple fruits combine with honey, spring flowers and chalky minerality to form a nervy, tense, and plumply delicious white. Perfect at the table with all kinds of fare, especially spicy Asian!

A.A. Badenhorst "Secateurs" Swartland Chenin Blanc 2018

Wine & Spirits
(2/2019) "Drought conditions followed by a cool harvest season produced a stunning version of Adi Badenhorst's entry-level chenin. He took an unusual approach in 2018, harvesting the fruit over the course of 12 days and adding each day's fruit to the already-fermenting musts. All of it was whole-bunch pressed, and one-quarter was fermented in old casks, the rest in tanks. Left on its lees for seven months with occasional stirring, the final wine is as deep and rich in flavor as its yellow hue predicts: It moves from waxy apple flavors to mango, wildflower honey and tangerine. It feels all of a piece, bright acidity holding the flavors taut and firm, a large-boned chenin fit for a crown roast of pork. All that for $16."

Domaine de la Petite Roche "La Petite Roche" Anjou Chenin Blanc 2018
92
Our Score
(2/2020) Exceptional. This intensely mineral and densely rich white is crafted from 100% Chenin Blanc. Farmed from vineyards in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, this fresh and creamy white tastes of honey, ripe nectarine, crisp red apple, ripe yellow apple and pear, white stones, chalk, spring flowers and a hint of anise. It is very long, very delicious, and packing a lot of material, drinks beautifully for a week with no signs of oxidation. If you like high-quality Vouvray, Sancerre or Chablis, you must try this wine. Grab a case to drink over the next 5-7 years!

Dry Creek Vineyard Clarksburg Dry Chenin Blanc 2017

Wine Enthusiast
(12/31/2018) "Editors' Choice - This wine is a long-running success story for the winery. It carries aromas of citrus zest and freshly sliced apples on the nose. The palate shows good balance through crisp acidity and a medium body, tempered slightly by 4 g/L residual sugar."

Raats "Original" Unwooded Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc 2018

Vinous, Neal Martin
(8/2018) "The 2018 Original Chenin Blanc comes from lower-sited vineyards, mainly on sandstone soils, and saw no wood contact. It offers straightforward, quite fragrant white flower and nectarine scents on the well-defined nose. The palate is well balanced with a pleasing citrus attack on the entry, followed by orange peel, a touch of peach skin and hints of elderflower toward the long, fresh finish. Very fine and a great value."
