Loire Chenin Blanc

Domaine Huet

Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux Vouvray Chenin Blanc 1959

Transcendent experience—waves of honey, apricot, salted caramel, white button mushroom, waxy and viscous without being at all ponderous. Remarkably fresh for its age — 20 days ago

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

Lovely, smooth, citrusy, very good on its own as an aperitif but rich enough to pair with light apps (crudités, cheese, and fruit) as well as with shellfish and simple salads. — 4 days ago

Domaine des Baumard

Quarts de Chaume Chenin Blanc 1996

Felt liner from a jewelry box laid out and covered in dried tea. More acidic than sweet, a compliment to lemon bar pie. — a month ago

Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 2015

No flaws, but no real excitement either. Even the aromatics were a bit underwhelming. — 21 days ago

Brilliant. It’s faded and lost its way. But I love it. You won’t. Unless you understand what it’s like to have too old chenin that is of the highest caliber. Is it easy drinking? It’s not. Do I love it? I do. 2002 — 15 days ago

Faded? I’m almost shocked…thought a few decades in bottle (my favorite Huet bottling, I think) wouldn’t hurt too much. I guess I better have at it, then!!@Timothy Eustis

I bet I would still love it.

Domaine Vacheron

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2021

High acidity and intensely mineral.
This tastes like wet river rocks and farmers market greens.
Could drink this all day!!
