Current condition

Fresh with lively acidity and developing complexity

Mosse Magic of Juju is a premium Loire Chenin Blanc from an excellent vintage. The high acidity and winemaking style provide significant aging potential well beyond typical white wines, supporting a drinking window extending a decade from vintage. This coincides with known patterns for quality Vouvray-style Chenins which can age 10-20 years.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with seafood, poultry with creams sauces, aged goat cheese, and Asian dishes with moderate spice.
