Lieu Dit Winery is a boutique producer in Santa Barbara, California, founded in 2011 by friends Eric Railsback and Justin Willett, specializing in Loire Valley grape varieties like Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Cabernet Franc, crafted into fresh, balanced, lower‑alcohol wines.
Lieu Dit Chenin Blanc displays delicate aromas of honeysuckle, flint, and pear, unfolding into layers of apricot, almond blossom, and beeswax. Its textured palate and balanced acidity make it an ideal match for a cheese board, herby grilled chicken, or crab cakes.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2024 Chenin Blanc presents a beautiful bouquet of green orchard fruits, citrus blossoms and a hint of lees-derived richness. The palate delivers the racy vibrancy that permeates the Lieu Dit lineup, bolstered with an elegantly broad touch as it closes with a focused acidity and talc-like grip.
