Funky, mildly oxidative, hard to describe and definitely interesting.

Dark gold colour. A nose of fairly ripe apples and pears, sea salt with that salinity on the palate too, fairly wide and yet mineral wine, some nice richness and yet good energy also, long finish and delicious bottle, that gives you a lot at this price point. 91-92

Couleur or foncée. Nez de pommes assez mures, poires, sel de mer et un peu de salinité au nez comme en bouche pour ce vin délicieux, minéral, assez large, riche avec un certain gras, énergique aussi, long en bouche et qui en donne beaucoup à ce prix. Magnifique 91-92

Absolutely lovely. Both viscous and linear, crystalline yet dense. Much more classic Chenin profile than the Clos Michet, this is showing only a slightly reductive flinty top note. Everything else is pure Chenin. Awfully Vouvray-like.

I crave Chenin these days and Jacky Blot is the best. This one is super leesey with yogurt, apple and a touch of the best funk.
