This has so many things I like and expect from the "new" Loire Chenin.

Yum. Drank this with roasted vegetables, quinoa, and pistachio-crusted baked trout.

Reminds me somewhat of Wind Gap's Trousseau Gris. So approachable and sensibly priced. The nose expresses heavy aromas of freshly cut peaches, subtle grey ash and maybe a bit indistinct but it smells of wet stone. Great minerality and the mouth feel is simply electrifying. This wine is energetic enough to put a smile to my face, literally. I'd like to think that the passion of the winemaker is being conveyed through the wine itself. I'd buy a case just for everyday drinking.

Oooooo quartz looking crystals formed on the wine side of the cork! 💎 good signs to start. Fizzy...signs of the super natural obviously still present. 😜 the fizz accented the minerals and the tropical citrus party happening...tasted like sparkling sweet diamonds for a few minutes. Took about 30 minutes for the fizz to say goodbye and by that time we had already a beautiful conversation and the wine just tasted of mineral spiced honey. The drinking of this felt like a test drive to me. Actually makes me more excited to try the petillant version. ✨💎💫
