Impressive, particularly for 2011. Pure, rich, but not heavy. Great acidity. Nice compliment to a dozen oysters.

Such a hauntingly gorgeous bottle of Chenin. This transcends normal parameters, expansive in every dimension, rich, dense, bright but weightless.

Was very good actually but for the money I would drink older guiberteau. Very focused and linear wine. Less oak presence as previous bottles.
