What is it about excellent Loire Chenin that just really really does it for me? Waxy, honeyed, gorgeous wine. — 3 years ago
100% Chenin, sur la rive de la Loire, un vin tendu qui semble plein d'énergie et de potentiel. Impressionnant quand même et qui semble fait pour la garde. On goûte le chêne utilisé pour son vieillissement, ce qui arrondit la texture. Un grand vin pour de garde? Ce vin a été ouvert dans mon réfrigérateur pendant une semaine - je l'ai dégusté pendant plusieurs jours et il s'est amélioré, signe d'un grand potentiel, mais c'est déjà une très belle expérience maintenant, — 6 years ago
Wow medium yellow and complex nutty earthy ripe orange spicy notes carrying through to bracing acidity and firm texture then long finish. No sign of oxidation from previous notes and giving it higher ratings. — 9 months ago
Medium lemon yellow. The nose is med+ and rises easily from the glass with fresh notes of mineral stones, lanolin, salinity, and mixed fresh orchard fruits. The palate is med/med+ bodied, with mouthwatering and perfectly integrated acidity. The flavors cascade over the palate with energy and depth into a long, persistent finish. — 2 years ago

Classic chenin blanc. Med plus acidity, peach pear white flowers and of course lambswool. Could go for at least another 5 years. — a month ago
Mineral, floral, still pretty youthful, very good acid and also some nice structure, longish finish, very good Savennieres!! — 8 months ago

Aged dry Chenin Blanc from Baumard, the “Trie Speciale”, which is always dynamite if consumed 7-12 years from vintage, this bottle is JUST a little older, honeyed aromas and flavors, still alive, but would of course be better if it was sweeter, amazing how long these wines will last, though, even if not optimum!! — 22 days ago
