Le Petit Chambord Vendanges Manuelles Cour-Cheverny AOC Romorantin
Cour-Cheverny, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
Nose has orange blossom, candle wax, under-ripe pear, lemon peel and green banana peel.
Palate has lemon wedge, under-ripe pineapple, wax/lanolin with mild sweetness; medium acidity and medium finish.
An acceptable bottle at this extremely youthful age. We bought several of these to hold after a delightful experience with the 2007 vintage last year... Now I just need to forget about them for at least the next 10-15Y, because they need a minimum of 10Y for evolution.
100% Romorantin

Nose has honey, honey, honey, warmed honey, honeycomb, white flowers, waxy green pear, waxy limestone, orange blossom, candied pineapple, bruised yellow apple, over-ripe green apple with excessive tree hang, resinous oak and (light) green banana peel.
Palate has honey glazed orange peel, dried lime zest, candle wax, honey drizzle over candied pineapple, lime wedge, dry red clay, lemon poundcake and chamomile tea, but the level of acidity is amazing, like lime orchard honey! WOW! Finish runs 2m+ and lingers longer.
100% Romorantin, best bottle of this one ever! 🤯
More amazing, 3-pack buy (last bottle 😭) in Jan 2010, $17!
Can easily hold in proper storage until a 20th birthday!

Ripping acid, super minerally, and a waxy texture. Geeky and weird!

Note to self: anything by Cazin is worth a visit. So pretty, & effortless in its charm- white flowers, balanced, acid spine, enough of a mid palate, just delicious. On the medium end of a light bodied spectrum- just sat right down with roasted potatoes & baked chicken with a roasted vegetable/balsamic/ butter/touch of cream sauce . Dressner imp. That this all comes in at under 15$ is part of the beauty
