Les Chevaux Ivres is a Willamette Valley-based micro-winery dedicated to a minimalist winemaking philosophy that prioritizes honest and authentic expressions of Pacific Northwest fruit. For their 2024 Chenin Blanc, the winery sources grapes from select sites across the expansive Columbia Valley AVA, a region known for its high-desert climate and well-drained volcanic soils. This specific bottling often highlights old-vine parcels, which provide the concentrated flavors and natural high acidity character of this wine.
