Unfortunately this has not held up well. A boring wine with harsh acid overwhelming the palate. #vouvray #cheninblanc #francoischidaine #loirevalley #ctbucklinwine

Absolutely stunning! Yellow Apple, white flowers, honey, wasabi, dried ginger. Both powerful & complex. Chenin does not get much better than this.
