Buddha’s hand, pear, orange creamsicle and white pepper nose. Interesting fruit notes (pawpaw?) and cilantro on the palate. A bit cidery, a bit thin. Not a rebuy for me, but intriguing.

Ahhh like a baked pear Atlantic pie!!!Pears, apples, a bit of pineapple, with bright lemon with the minerality and texture of a seafoam crust. Super sexy, sad I opened it for a piece it didn’t quite work for instead of saving it for a special evening. 😏😉

So far, toasted hazelnuts and honey. "This doesn't taste like bad sherry!" Exclaim 90%of the table.

I thought this was younger—had the wrong vintage listed in CellarTracker. Still tasty but would have been better a couple years ago. Slightly past its prime. From magnum.

Can’t stop thinking about this golden nectar of Chenin. My favorite grape, from my favorite part of the Garden of France - Loire.This is like a deep conversation that lasts three hours but feels like fifteen minutes. There’s so much going on so take your time between sips. Go slow.Bartlett pears soft like butter. Granny Smith apples, vanilla, popcorn kernels. Round texture with high acid to cut through the fat. Finish of burnt caramel and lemon.As with the complicated ones, let this get to cellar temp to get the full dialogue.

2016 - every time I pop a chenin, I tell myself, you should have decanted that. But after a couple days corked in the fridge, this is showing all it's glorious colors. Nose of helium balloons, savory herbs, sweet lemon acidity. Everything in balance. The secret is out; Benoit Courault is 🔥.
