At first it reminded me of a Normandy craft cider. Then I poured some in my glass and the colour struck me. It's orangey and clearly turbid. Not your casual chardonnay Sunday evening pour. The nose is verrrryyy complex, pear, apple, honey, elderflower, white pepper, some slight apricot touch and some yeasty notes too (?). The palate is great too, good acid drive, pear and apple, honey, good width, soft mouthfeel that turns into a tannic wall in the rear that caresses the tongue before powering a multi-layered finish with honey, apricot, apple, pear, a savoury, salty touch. Wow this is wild. It's absolutely not the same wine nor the same tastes and varietals but this reminds to some extent of Joly's wines from la Coulée de Serrant. Extremist in the approach somehow. These guys will die on that hill with their ideas. — 2 years ago

Stone fruit and slate with a touch of grapefruit. Brighter than many French Sauvignon Blancs; very tasty! — 5 years ago
Savennières Cuvée du château 1995, Nicolas Joly. Domaine de la Coulée de Serrant.
The nose is a bit muted right now and only displays mushroom and forest soil scents. No sign of oxydation though which I was expecting.
The palate is very wide and long. What a Chenin! Very strong acid backbone that goes for ever, apple and lemon all along, some thickness and viscosity on the sides with a strong grip. The touch is almost the one of a moelleux. This is unreal. The finish is apple and lemon and eternal freshness. It lasts for more than a minute. Great wine! — 6 years ago

This Anjou Saumur is a character heavy floral white. Took me a minute to appreciate and undetstand it but once I got there, I was impressed. — 8 years ago
I did not know that it existed and I had way too much wine to order another bottle but could not resist trying it. It is very complex, extremely aromatic, starts out as a dry wine and gradually develops in the glass, very smooth but with very nice acidity true to a chenin. Wonderful. — 2 months ago
Truly unique. Classic chenin flavors. But very singular and focused. Nutty, grassy, apple. Very very good. — 3 years ago
Right up my alley! Not complex or very long, but one hundred percent joy. From about one ha vineyard, raised in old barrels. Nothing added. Wild fruit bomb containing lots of black currant, blackberries, grass and bell pepper. Medium tannins, astringent and coarse texture. — 5 years ago
Loved it, both you and Liz. Pear and honey, acid, floral. Pretty great. I think you love rousanne. — 5 years ago

No notes. I brought this to our friends to go along a plate of grilled meat and baked potatoes, fresh tomatoes. Honey and toast and a touch of lemon and red apple. The palate is dry, acid driven, lemon and green apple. Strong grip and a bit of salinity in the rear. Great stuff ! — 19 days ago
