A dry Loire Chenin I actually am enjoying. I’m not a fan of oxidative wines, generally, and while the lovely, musky pear/quince fruit here has a lightly “bruised” component, that’s as far as it goes. Add to that fruit an intense but soft wet limestoney minerality in the nose. In the mouth, it’s soft, low-toned, and fruity. If this were German I’d say Feinherb. Acidity is soft, but the intensity and purity of flavors is nice. I’m impressed.

This might be my favorite white. The minerality and complexity appeals to me.
Sharing with 2 great friends with a fresh seafood salad from Anthony’s restaurant in Haddon Heights, NJ.
