Information about "Stark-Condé Monk Stone Chenin Blanc 2025"
The Stark-Condé Monk Stone Chenin Blanc is a multifaceted expression of Chenin Blanc, aged in a harmonious blend of handcrafted clay amphorae and neutral French oak barrels. Its aromatic profile presents an enticing medley of citrus notes, guava, and quince, complemented by hints of Crème Brûlée. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant freshness, leading to a lingering finish underscored by persistent mineral notes.
This wine derives its name from the imposing rock that punctuates the organically farmed, elevated vineyard block at Stark-Condé. The Chenin vineyard, planted with bush vines, is meticulously arranged along dramatic terraces designed to prevent soil erosion. The sinuous patterns of these terraces, alongside the grand rock, evoke the aesthetics of a traditional Japanese rock garden, inspiring the name 'Monk Stone.'

Ein guter Chenin für jeden Tag
Chenin ist so eine Rebsorte die für mich nur an bestimmten Tagen funktioniert. Als ich 2023 bei Stark-Condé war konnte mich von allem der Round Mountain als Sauvignon wirklich überzeugen. Aber auch der Monk hatte was. Leicht zitrisch, leicht exotisch. Die Creme Brulee hab ehrlich gesagt auch nicht rausgeschmeckt. Aber echt trinkig ohne pentrant zu sein.
