Gorgeous. Orchard blossoms, lemon pith and herb tea. Lifts up and moves around the palate wonderfully and will complement so many foods. Decanting recommended.

Lacked intensity and med complexity on nose. Just ripened yellow orchard fruit with citrus, flowers, and a ever so slight aroma of banana. Palate was linear with high acid. Medcomplexity. Lacked tension. Balanced. Slight oxidation note and pithiness. Short finish. Tasty and simple. #chateaudebreze #saumurblanc #cheninblanc #loirevalley #ctbucklinwine

Apple cider on the nose, bright acidity. A bit of nutty oxidized notes on the nose and palate that I’m not crazy about. A little like a dry sherry... kinda out of character
