2023 Le Mont Sec is so full of golden Chenin character despite its pearly glint.

Close your eyes and its thick pierced red apple skin, browning cores and buckwheat honey with a strong floral character.

My favorite dynamic of sweet suggestions, dry deliverable. — 4 days ago

Forgot to rate at the time. Sec. So pretty. Wet wool, honeyed, apricot, crushed stone, floral and amazing acid. — 5 months ago

More complexity bang-for-the-buck than any white I’ve recently had. Fresh balance of floral and chalk with hints of white and melony fruit seeping through the immediate acidity. 3-4 years will pay off huge though at this price hard to resist. — 4 months ago

A Pét-Nat from Huet?! Aromas of apple cider, pineapple, quince, jasmine underpinned by lightly oxidative note. Creamy mousse, but faded rather quickly in the glass. Sharp acidity. Nice tug of war between sweetness and bitterness on the finish. — 3 months ago

What an amazing grape is Chenin Blanc. We had a delicious dry version from WA earlier in the week and now this gorgeous 39 year old Vouvray from the Loire Valley in half bottle. Not really sweet enough to be called a dessert style - spatlese at best. Mid to pale gold. Toasty notes with pear and mouldy apple. On the palate incredibly fresh and vibrant for its age. Notes of pineapple and a little acid to keep it going in the cellar if desired but hard to beat right now. A great accompaniment to foie gras. One of the 1001 Wines. A wonderful experience. — 5 months ago
