Vintage 2018 | Pale colour, rich though introverted smell with citrus and a vague honey impression. Also flint. Powerfull Chenin Blanc taste with roundness. Will develop more complexity with age. Paired with fried sea bream (dorade).

Vintage 2005 | gold colour, apricot in smell, apricot kernel bitters in taste. Fine balance but absolutely for people with acquired taste. Old Chenin Blanc that fitted excellent with Coquilles Saint Jacques, fennel and streaky bacon. At restaurant Provence in Zaltbommel.

Lovely Chenin to play with , kinky !
Intense colour, nose a bit honeyed... High acid high alcohol  ... 
Touch of botritis in the grape... Though keeps dry

Helaas, geoxideerd, zoals vaker bij Pierre Bise. PB (savenierres) kan prachtig ouderen, maar (te) wisselvallig….

Golden in colour with notes of tropical fruit and a balanced acidity, delicious.

Classic Chenin Blanc. Honey, apple, fruits. Very good acidity, medial aftertaste. High alcohol.
