Nice white! As others have mentioned, it’s got a baked apple thing going with an enjoyable savoriness. Very quaffable. — a month ago
Presented to me blind at Tasting Group. The wine appears bright yellow with medium viscosity; no signs of sediment, gas or particles. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe orchard fruit: stone fruits, lemons, white flowers, lanolin and minerals. On the palate the wine is off-dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and full of character. The alcohol is medium+. Initial conclusions: this could be Chenin Blanc, Riesling or Chardonnay from France, Germany or the United States. But I didn’t get any petrol so I eliminated Riesling and I don’t think you could get the balance of fruit and high acid from California Chardonnay (and the oak would probably be so pronounced). So I called Chenin Blanc from France, from the Loire, Vouvray Demi-Sec. Well…I should have known this could be Joly! Close…but some miles away from each other and I’d like to have the confidence to call producer in this case. Drink now through 2034. — 2 months ago
Very good wine, did not maintain the same strength as it stayed open. From within 1 hr. Very grand cru in composition. — 11 days ago

Beautiful Chenin Blanc. This wine needs at least 45 minutes to open up. Once it does it is so good. Complex flavor profile with slight oxidative notes, tropical fruit, and a flowery nose. — 8 days ago
