Great balance of acidity and warmer notes. Honey and caramel as well as overripe pears. Chenin done well.

Actually drank the 2012. Beautiful- Anjou pear drizzled with honey, baked apple, a stunningly rich and perfectly balanced wine.

First vintage of this wine, from Damien's Les Genets vines, but pressed instead of free-run juice and all tank. Zippy!

From Damien Laureau, 2012 vintage. This is the first press juice from Les Genets. Gorgeous.
