Les Indigènes — Artisans Partisans, 100% Chenin Blanc, 2024, France 🇫🇷
Overview
Organically grown, native yeast fermentation. Aged 20% in old barrels and 80% in stainless steel under reductive conditions. A mineral-driven, natural-leaning Chenin that balances texture with freshness.
Aromas & Flavors
Dried apricot, preserved lemon, crushed stone, yellow apple skin, subtle hay and chamomile notes.
Mouthfeel
Medium body, dry, textured yet vibrant. Bright acidity carries a slightly oxidative hint layered over a reductive backbone. Savory and structured rather than fruity-forward.
Food Pairings
Goat cheese, roasted chicken with thyme, grilled shrimp, mushroom tart, Comté.
Verdict
A thoughtful Chenin with personality — mineral, slightly wild, and expressive. Not plush, not commercial. A wine that leans into terroir and technique.
Did You Know?
Chenin Blanc is one of the most versatile grapes in the world, capable of bone-dry, sparkling, oxidative, sweet, and everything in between. Indigenous yeast fermentations often enhance its textural and mineral complexity.
🍷 Personal Pick
A casual and natural Chenin that delivers both approachability and taste, my daily companion.

A favourite. This wine manages to contain all the lovely attributes of muscadet - mineral, lemon, apple, lactic taste - whilst keeping the pure fruit at the core but having a lovely sea freshness too. — 2 years ago
Big deep grapey nose. Tons of granite and blackberry but also red berries as well. A very evocative and encompassing nose. Some pepper, spice and herbs as well. Complex and inviting. Palate is soft and structured with an intense pepperiness. Supple and melty with gorgeous red fruits and also blackberry. Very pure and perfectly balanced with really nice tannins. Excellent wine. — 3 years ago
