So,so bright, concentrated & clear. Fennel, endive, & rum soaked apples on nose ( tasted blind a friend thought Jura ); on palate more of those freshly cut vegetables with more apple and underripe pear notes. Intense. And so young. So many miles to go. I always never buy enough of Chidaine, to my regret. But drinking at any stage is so mesmerizing. Like a shooting star.

Lovely Chenin Blanc with oxidative start followed by a crisp finish like a Riesling. Great with spicy French Cambodian fish.

Silky, light, rich burst of honey crisp apple at first sip, settles into a more balanced mineral finish.

Good but not great. Baking spices some muted apple, lanolin. Lacked tension. Pricey for what it is at about $38. Per bot
