Our first slate soil based #chenin of the tasting showed the difference from limestone as this was round and thicker on the palate. Malo in barrel is typical from western Anjou-Saumur, whereas blocked or no Malo and steel fermentation and aging are typical in eastern Anjou-Saumur. Minerality peeks out from the more tropical ripe yellow fruits.

The 2013 is getting better and better in bottle. A lot of layers in this wine, despite a complicated vintage which led to lighter profiles

Sometimes wines are just fun to drink. This chunky, cloudy 2012 Chenin from Anjou is lightly sparkling and full of bright apple fruit.
