Gilbourg Anjou Chenin Blanc

One of the most underrated loire Chenins! Delicious.

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.

Vouvray texture with Anjou acidity. Bomb

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.

Not undrinkable, but off. Apple cider vibes.

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.

Baked apples and pears. Oxidative. Good

Wonderful. Beautiful Chenin. ❤️
