50 year old vines minimum. 25 g sugar. Not cloying or too sweet. Pleasant.

Hazelnut and salinity, classic for Loire valley wine with some lees contact. Pure white peach and honeysuckle on the palate with enough sweetness to balance out the acidity.

(*) Grab a straw. Off dry with easy-drinking notes of white peach and yellow apple. Underrated IMHO.

Great body and mouth feel with nice minerality. Slightly sweet peachy notes balanced with acidity and ever so slight effervescence.

Light straw with aromas of stone fruits and wet stone. On the palate apple and pear flavors hit by vivid acidity and a touch of sweetness in the Demi-Sec style. This nicely balanced 100% Chenin Blanc finished with refreshing minerality.
