Vintage 1986 - a gem from the cellar. Great colour, old gold not brown at all... Smells like honey, butter, hay. Terrific balance. #quartsdechaume #cheningans #cheninblanc #loveit #loirewine — 7 years ago

Vintage 2011 - a golden shine, characteristic smell with hay, apricot, hazelnut, a touch of mango, and a very slightly oxy tone, the honey comes back in the taste, lively and with good tension. #cheningans #cheninblanc — 7 years ago

Domaine des Gagneries 1989 Bonnezeaux, Roger et Christian Rousseau, Bonnezeaux/Thouarce - a gem from my cellar, unbelievable vivid after 27 years, still yellow-golden colour with no trace of brown, shy smell with dried fruit, hint of honey, orange, awesome balance in liquoreux taste with enough acidity to keep the wine interesting with every sip. #bonnezeaux #cheninblanc #cheningans — 8 years ago

Delectable Featured Wine

Each year, Cabernet Franc superstar Bernard Baudry makes a small amount of Chenin Blanc that is gone in the blink of an eye. All of the Baudry family's Chinon vineyards are organically farmed using many biodynamic practices, and the winemaking is similarly low intervention. From young vines planted in clay and limestone, his Chinon Blanc presents more minerality than fruit, and a diaphaneous, melted honey-like texture.
