Saumur Chenin Blanc

Generous stone fruit and yellow apple, med-high acidity, minerality that balanced out the oak presence. good concentration for a round silky mouthfeel.

Exotic citrus notes. Medium body and acidity. Good dry Chenin, showing more on the citrus and herbal spectrum. Impressive concentration. This started a bit simple but was singing after 3 weeks open in the fridge! 9.1->9.3

Killing it.

Chateau Yvonne Blanc 2018: Despite being youthful with a very bright future ahead is so moreish and delicious in its infant stage. Serve 10-12 degrees in your large burgundy glasses and even better after some time in the decanter. And most importantly, make sure to get som while its still available.

Dense concentration on the nose with grilled lemon, ripe peaches and nectarines, honey, blossom a very integrated oak profile and a chalky minerality.
A piercing and electric acidity dominates the palate and cuts through and brings balance to the a full body with a waxy and creamy viscosity. Pronounced flavour intensity with full presence through the complex mid plate. There is definitely a long and very serious finish but falls short from being a hall of famer.

A very smart craftmanship from the artisanal organic and biodynamic Chateau Yvonne, the Saumur Blanc went through malolactic fermenation and spent 12 months in oak (20%) new

Damp earth, chesnut, witch hazel, spring flowers, spring greens, crisp pear, lemon peel, quinche, salted ham, flint, green tea. A riot of acid and waxy chenin richness, impeccable balance. First time getting this wine in the glass with some bottle age 😍

The ‘15 was good, but the ‘16 is LIGHTS OUT

Chenin for those who like rich white burgundies.

Lovely pure nose, almonds, smells the acid, pear, ripe but also hugely mineral, juicy, high acid and refined. Salty and very complex finish. Huge huge acid.

Great wine. Terrific purity, nutty, iodine, hazelnuts, almonds, sickness, hint of wax, ocean spray, sick nose. Palate is so dense and intense. Pure and deep. Textured and dense. Energy up the wazoo. Stunning length. Wow.

Delicious chenin!
