This is a delicious Chenin Blanc. The Pite brothers farm organically on clay/flint soils. No SO2 used on their wines. These are a very balanced example of their terroir. Better than my last tasting notes.

This Saumur has a round mouthfeel. I wish the palate picked up more on the intense and lovely nose of white flowers, candied lime, and quince.

The most floral and intensely fragrant nose of the tasting. White flowers, quince, lime, sea breeze, and a touch of honey.

2012. Dense and stacked now...but with a few years of bottle age it's gonna be great.
