Lovely white for those who want floral and herbal primary palate where the fruits are subtle and complementary. Off dry with nice honey and light hint of orange before a super fun grassy flourish of a finish and a hint of oiliness. Good mineral and body feel. Not much sweetness and med acidity. Fun and atypical. I’ll be back. — 5 days ago

This baby was golden yellow. It had strong curd lemon flavors and palate cleansing acidity. — 4 days ago

Lighter in color and body than its peers. Still with apparent botrytis — 5 days ago

Pure pleasure—waves of flavor washing over your palate like the tide. Great acidity, brilliant color, sweet without being cloying. With the ubiquity of varied and spiced cuisines these days, you’d think sweet wines would be having a moment. Yet nearly every restaurant list is bone-dry until the dessert and the saddest job in wine is slinging Sauternes. May these wines stay ever unfashionable (if oddly, in coke-swilling America) so that we can continue to afford them. — 11 days ago

Prestige and soft acidity. Orange peel notes clean and very approachable. Clean and layers of exotic tangerine. This is a real treat!! — 9 days ago

Beautiful white flowers, clementines, ripe pineapple & cement. The A+ for anyone trying to make chenin blanc. — 11 days ago

Funky fresh nose and a core of really nice melon fruit, golden apple, hay, honey - waxy mouthfeel, with a crisp zip of acidity to wrap it up nicely. Natural fermentation, aged in stainless steel and oak, fruit all from Rablay-sur-Layon. — 6 days ago

I mean...I just wish there was more of this in my life. It’s taken on a rounder mouthfeel since I had it last (6 or so months ago) but it’s still pure Chenin. The nose is a little alcoholic but don’t be fooled...that palate still has all the slate and mineral goodness plus that lemon and orange zest. Can’t wait to get my hands on the next vintage. — 14 days ago

Received this as Pascaline’s recommendation from her selection of Thibaud’s wines at Racines. What a wonderful woman and an equally vibrant wine. Citrus, energy, sheen, cut, density and length. — 13 days ago
