It started last year when I accidentally purchased a Mosse chenin blanc. Mosse makes many good wines but their chenin blancs are in a different universe. Honeyed pear and tropical fruit. Is there some earth? This is a big, bold, wine but smooth and complex, too. Off-dry, Granny Smith apples, and a loooong finish. Did the wine see a little skin contact because I sense some tannins? There is too much going on here to capture in one review. Off to the next Mosse chenin blanc!

Oct 18th, 2020Noticeable yet balanced RS. Honeyed and nutty, ripe yellow apple and pear, silky texture. Nice acidity to balance the richness.
