We can’t get enough of top shelf chenin these days. 3 hour decant, tasting as it slowly unfolds from cellar to room temp. Palate is where this shines, a real shapeshifter. Beeswax, lanolin, jasmine, finishes like a sunset—dips out of sight and leaves you with a beautiful afterglow. — 9 days ago

I love an aged Loire Chenin Blanc..drinking this a bit on the young side but still very enjoyable!
Deep honey gold in color...overripe pear..honey..tropical fruits..soft minerals and grass! This Chinon is just starting to show the wooly characteristics that I love in an aged Chenin Blanc. Fruit dominates...almost sweet! — 13 days ago

2010 Vintage. Lots of lemon, minerality and good acid just a hint of honey. — 2 days ago

Green apples, ginger, and baking spices. Nice medium bubbles w lively action. Crisp and delicious. Great Sunday night sparkler (as my wife said, “screw Monday”). #wisdom — 2 days ago

Absolutely lovely. Both viscous and linear, crystalline yet dense. Much more classic Chenin profile than the Clos Michet, this is showing only a slightly reductive flinty top note. Everything else is pure Chenin. Awfully Vouvray-like. — 16 days ago

Totally delightful. An off-dry delight that quenched my thirst and stoked my thirst for Chenin for life. Grinnin’ for Chenin? Nice balance of apples n pears and lanolin. Not exceedingly expressive when really cold so make it dinner, caress it’s punt and wait for it to open up. — 13 days ago

Really like this Wine. The Baumard family growing the noble Chenin at Rochefort in the Anjou for centuries, in 1953 they acquired a vineyard in the Quarts de Chaume, & in 1968, purchased acreage in Savennieres. Straw with full fruit and light spice aromas. On the palate ripe apple, pear & melon, complex, with vivid acidity. Lingering, ending with mineral and sweet honey character. Wow. A white that should age well. Had this 9 months ago, even better now!! — 10 days ago

You can buy one of the greatest dry white wines in the world for $42. And if you are patient and wait 10 years, your rewards will be many. — 3 days ago

Whoa... day 2 and I’ve changed my mind about this. Unremarkable on day 1. Now it’s exploding with candied lemon, beeswax and diesel. — 6 days ago
