la Varenne de Chanzé Anjou Chenin Blanc 2019

Lees and acidity. That is the crux of it. Creates some fascinating flavor profiles- like nibbling on a Dogwood branch after it lost its leaves in the fall. Very interesting wine that is begging to be laid down in a cellar and only brought out in the next decade- it's a bit heavy handed now with the yeast and acid but has massive aging potential that I think will reveal some fascinating flavors. — 2 years ago

Les Varennes du Grand Clos Chinon Cabernet Franc 1989

Robe rouge clair trouble
Le nez est assez variétal. Le cabernet ne fait pas l’ombre d’un doute
Ensuite, la bouche est fondue, fraiche. C’est délicat, élégant, subtil….
Pour autant la fin de bouche tombe rapidement, pas un grand terroir ?
Sur le fruit rouge, très nerveux mais j’aurai aimé du havane, du tabac….
Jolie bouteille mais pas grande bouteille, pas de doute Dioterie est plus grand et la varenne est plutôt dans le registre de la friandise acidulée
