A balanced wine, very Loire-like in spirit, but with a modern and precise interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📍Region: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mireehaute.com\/collections\/loire\"\u003eLoire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍇Grape variety: Chenin \u003cbr\u003e📆Vintage: 2024\u003cbr\u003e% Alcohol content: 13.5°\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllergens: contains sulfites\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre Ménard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57087049204087,"sku":"PMENARDSV24","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/6947\/2019\/files\/a726080fdba4ae216daf85551126d099.png?v=1778659906"}],"url":"https:\/\/mireehaute.com\/en-eu\/collections\/pierre-menard.oembed","provider":"Marée Haute","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
