Wild, bracing, cerebral. Every glass was a different wine. Seemingly over-mature at first, then a complete about-face by the end if the bottle. Fresh and dried fruit, honey, woolly, stony, crushed flowers, salt, tea leaves, sweet spice.

Much more subtle than I anticipated & compared to Chidaine, Huet,etc. Probably a bit closed & can use a decant at this stage. All kinds of pulverized shells & a low key minerality, long & lean in terms of texture. No wool or wax here. White flowers, Asian pear, & I want to say raw yellow zucchini ( though I may regret that). All kinds of complexity to taste. A ‘contemplative’ rather than a race horse wine-& hope my homeboy will hang onto his others so we can taste what age will do. Opened during an exhilarating Knicks win.

I'm going to admit to you that I'm not a great lover of Chenin Blanc. I'm not sure why. Maybe I don't have enough somm certificates; maybe I'm not hip enough; or maybe I'm just an idiot? That being said, this is a fantastic bottle of wine that's zippy, rich, elusive, and obvious all at the same time.

Terrific acidity, spices, yellow apple, chalky minerality

Beautiful, classic Chenin! Gorgeous minerality and brightness from this #monopole in Saumur.
