Vintage 2015 / Imagine you find a vineyard with almost 50 years old Chenin Blanc and you are able to make wine from it. Frederic Mabileau must have been thrilled. This vineyard in Saumur is 1 hectare. Minerals in smell, a lot of minerals. Also vanilla (16 months en foudre). Hints of tropical fruit, hay, enormous powerful in taste with good acidity. What a joy to taste this!

Mar 7th, 2020Vintage 2013 - #cheninblanc from vignes that are 46 years old on argile calcaire terroir. “fermentation ét elevage 9 mois en demi-muds” I love the wines of this producer that works very secure and passionated. This white #Saumur is true to type chenin, it does not charm you at once. Minerals, citrus and pear. Beautiful butter in taste, but also repulsive. A lovely play to discover its qualities, sip by sip 🙃
