Vintage 2022 | Só sweet that I thought it was Amarone. Rich smell that presents itself with much dimensions like a peacock tail. Gingerbread. Chocolate. Usually this sweetness repels me. But I like this wine. — 5 months ago

Vintage 2022 | só quaffable and pleasing. Yet, almost impossible to recognise as Chenin Blanc. That is to say: for me. Paired with coquilles and pata negra and sea bass and asparagus. At Bitterpeeën in Antwerp. — a year ago

Vintage 2016 | drank this a year ago and my opinion is the same: great balance because the wine has só much acidity that it gives counterplay to the sweet. Without food it is a wine with a lot of tension. With a home made brownie it became more rounded. Still potential for many many years. A treat. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2013 | I do think that it is not necessary to advocate that some Chenin Blanc wines ‘must age for ten years and more’. This is a very basic wine of Godineau. When drunk young it is good. When older it gets só lush. Lovely aperitive. Also with pâté. — 3 years ago

Vineyard 2012 | Absolutely wonderful luncheonwine. Orange colour perhaps the lightest of all reds? It drinks só smoothly, there is a lot to discover in the smell: a barnyard poop smell to start with (love or hate), autumn forrest, hints of strawberry, very vital, still some power, tannin-on-the-tongue. True to type. Paired with pork tenderloin in cream sauce with carrots, green beans and garlic. Lunch in the garden. — 4 years ago

Vintage 2019 | For the cellar | Beautiful creamy smell with cassis, laurel and vaguely leather. Silky on the tongue with very ripe tannins. A sexy taste, só young. | With beef and mushrooms — 5 years ago

Vintage 2010 | Family lunch | 15 years old romorantin and still só vibrant, well balanced, beautiful bitters, alive and kicking with a quiche from red cabbage and mozzarella. 🥰 — 7 months ago

Vintage 2015 | Italian rooftiles coloured rim, spicy smell and nicely developed velvety taste. Chinon that is aged can be só comforting. Cab franc shines. Paired with a simple but good spaghetti meatballs tomatosauce. It makes my day. — a year ago

Muito leve e agradável de se beber. Bom pra quem ainda não se acostumou com vinhos mais secos. É doce com um leve toque seco. Se for pra comprar pra mim mesmo, só compro de novo se for bem barato. Mas talvez pra dar pra alguém ou levar pra algum lugar é bom. — 2 years ago

Vintage 1986 | Incredible… só multi layered: cedar, morellocherries, flint, cinnamon, chocolate, Scottish tobacco. Well balanced. Very happy! This is a monumental wine. Easy one of the best wines tasted this year. — 5 years ago

Vintage 2021 | Só true to type cab franc with playful raspberries, tight tannins with nice bitters, great future | paired with tagliatelle oyster mushrooms, peppers and garlic, a Sardinian recipe we have been making for more than 30 years and a family favorite — a year ago

Vintage 1989 | 3/4 transparant, Italian rooftiles brown rim. A very intense bouquet: cedar, forrest wood, laurel, flint, cherries, só multi layered you tend to smell endless. Powerful taste, prominent bitters, still too young imo, the taste comes together with the entrecôte, awesome harmony. A benchmark for wine lovers. Fine that HB delivers to mark a special moment! I bought this when my daughter was born | at restaurant Pollevie — 5 years ago
