Lovely chenin blanc with pretty floral notes along with cleansing minerality. Medium body and delightful with enough acidity to match well with food

1 person found it helpfulNov 9th, 2016Lovely wine and a real surprise for many drinkers who associate Chinon with red wine. This very slightly off dry chenin blanc is beautifully perfumed with a faint aroma of honey and white flowers. The trick to enjoying this wine is to not serve it ice cold - treat it like a fine white Burgundy and the acidity balances the beautiful fruit and aroma. Lovely wine. Elegant length

Interesting wine and more of a golden color than I see in most chenins. Haven't looked at how it's made but it's got a very creamy texture so I'm guessing there was some lees work. Would be interesting to decant it for a while longer to see if the acid makes itself known a little more.

Straightforward. Pleasant. Precise. Well made. But didn't blow me away. Good but not enough to bring me back.
