Direct from the winery. Pristine and exquisite. So well behaved on the nose and palate. Intense fruit cake and blueberry pie. So much weight, yer balanced. Tannins have softened but still prominent. Stellar presentation overall.

Beautiful dry Vouvray Chenin Blanc, color suggests it’s fully mature, though I think it will still improve, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 18 days ago

Medium garnet , quite wide garnet terracotta rim . Quite mature and with mint , herbal cassis , touch of brown sugar, coffee , sous bois. On the palate this is medium bodied , sous bois , some red fruits , red plum , cassis . Quite spicy but still good volume and roundness on the palate also. Decent acidity , and some herbal touches on the good length finish . This is drinking well and will probably not improve . Now and over the next 5-10 years . — 17 days ago

Red bell pepper initially entice the nose, soft baking spices follow. As it opens, stewed plums evolve. Velvety plum dominates the palate with herbal undertones. Earthy enough for mushroom dishes, strong and bold enough for beef. Softly masculine and approachable. Tannins are very fine and the finish is very feminine. It simply disappears from the room without a goodbye. — 4 days ago

both this 2020 as the 2019 vintage are stunning. Nothing out of balance from start to finish, good nose, elegant palate, smooth and fresh, a treat to drink now and in the future. (93+) — 16 days ago

Second bottle of the night - not bad for a pop & pour. — 17 days ago

Super earthy at first, but with air the fruit/earth balance is equilibrating. Loads of irony/clay notes in the nose, with dark plummy fruit. Tannins are integrating but still present. This presents more like a 20th Century right bank wine than what is usual now, with fruit and softness but no overripeness and a nice sense of restraint. — 3 days ago
