This wasn’t the wine’s fault, but I wanted it to be fuller and lustier than it was sold to me as. Great typicity, very pretty and mineraled.

Perhaps the most mineral driven wine I’ve ever had - intense, edgy, delicious...hint of citrus & peach but mostly rocks rocks rocks

Minuscule production & bought last two bottles at my wine store- a real gem: very long & persistent, a minerality that feels tightly wound, though accessible & relaxes (a bit)in sec mode. And that color! Preserved lemon & that lanolin, chenin blanc thing. One of the more memorable chenin blancs of recent memory. Higher end cuvees too by this maker. Went beautifully w roasted chicken & salad. Becky Wasserstein imports- there s one sign of its pedigree.

Enchanting Chenin with bracing minerality which is the trademark of this phenomenal producer. Amazing how many permutations this grape can handle.
