Not 'Breze' but so damn good. Less complex, more minerally but guiberteau all the way. Very pleasing wine. Thanks @Max Kogod kogod wine merchant

Earthy, funky, Chenin perfection. Lanolin and apple cider. Round and ripe with bright acidity.

2015 vintage. Fresh! Minerality and finesse. My two favorite wine friends.

Best vintage of this wine in a few years. Sumptuous body of honeycomb and mineral.

Super-correct, but basic.

Elevated Chenin Blanc from start to finish. A pale, golden, floral, petrol, citrusy middleweight with concentrated silky apple and a long stony goodbye.

Very mineral nose with gun powder, crushed rocks, white flowers in the end too. The palate is extra dry with a lemony layer and another mineral one with a very wide mid palate that pushes back to the a long finish with a pinch of salt. Superb, extra dry, food wine. I would recommend to pair it with slices of squid and garlic lemon and parsley made on the frying pane
