What a night with pascaline Lepeltier, who after 50 years in wine teaches me a whole new spectrum. Absolutely wonderful.

Light green citrus, exotic like Buddhas hand. Spicy, citrusy, a little green at the moment but good energy.

Jun 1st, 2022Pretty gold color. Peach blossom, white nectarine. Marzipan. Salty, savory long finish. Just perfect acidity. Minerals. Fabulous. Savennieres! Likely my favorite appellation for dry Chenin. Such a hidden gem.

Oct 21st, 2020Delicious 1999 savennieres with homemade butternut squash spaetzle.
So rich and textured, very little oxidation, not showing it’s age at all. Mouthcoating... plenty of honeycomb and some green apple and seashell. Continuing to evolve. Perfect pairing so far. Cheers!

Very good wine, combining its rich yellow, yet vibrant fruit with a balanced complexity of primary and savoury aromas with a defined mineral background. Great interplay on the palate, rich and ripe stone fruit and a broad mid palate with a generous but well integrated alcohol that is carried on a very strong shouldered cut through acidity. Thoughtful to its home ground, performing above its price, but is just short on the doorstep for a long finish.

Another beautiful Chenin drinking quite well. Loads of honey. Deep golden color. Hard to beat this for the money.

Jack & Arden put together a wonderful evening of delicious food and great wines, and a few of us attendees contributed some bottles to enjoy as well. Great night!
Served blind and probably the most difficult bottle to guess of the night. It was very honeyed up front, with orange blossom and apricot. Acidity was quite low. I ended up guessing Savenniere, but have to credit Dan for being the one to suggest it.
