Leesy nose with quince, white peach and apple blossom accompanying the green apple note in this bdb mix of Chenin (75%) and Chardonnay (25%). Intense attack, with a bit of a falloff on the mid palate. Resumes with echoes of fruits and minerals on the finish. Should age nicely. Disgorged 2019

Insane value. So expressively Chenin-ey without* the funk but with* all of the underripe pineapple, crunchy yellow apple chip, and salty peanut-ey notes you expect and crave. Delicious.

Killer bubbles for the money. Chenin and chard, salinity, long time on the lees for this price point as well. Gulp it.

A sort of apricot forward, light frizzy marmalade herb, rosemary, mint bouquet. It’s subtle and almost graceful like a swan’s dance on the surface of water.
Love, love the unapologetic nature of the bubbles and effervescence. It’s the grand entrance to the ballroom. The backless gown that says I’m here because this party would not exist without me, or at least it would not be as great or fun or story-worthy. These are the jeans that are too tight, the pocket square that doesn’t match, the polka dot socks, the nose stud on the guy that’s got the best suit in the house, and just makes the whole damn thing work.
Drink it. Love it. Tell everyone.
Peach soda, light to medium body, umami and the tart sweetness of a ripe mango. Every magnetic sip bursting with pure discovery and, most of all, the thing people forget in high culture, regular old fun.

Pear, white pepper, and some yeasty biscuit notes.
Nice heft and texture from the Chenin. Pear, baked apple, lemon citrus notes, nice acidity and steely/metallic mineral notes.
Great crement for a good price. Quite versatile with food too.
