We missed this wine during a tasting so we wanted to try again. Two vineyards that were previously bottled separately now bottled under one label. Slightly oxidative with cooked apple. Lots of acid all Chenin.

Wet wool, cooked apples on the nose. Honeysuckle, apples and slightly oxidative. Good acidity and medium body.

A very interesting wine. Feels like Chinon Blanc from the Jura... If you know what I mean

Naso delicato e morbido. Bocca acida persistente e avvolgente. Bello

Bright bruised applesauce, honey, shooting stars of acidity through the palate. Sensual fun from a grape I don't order enough. #loire #cheninblanc

True, almost old-fashioned chenin blanc. Quite complex stone fruit, nuts, cooked apples/pears, and herbaceous character. Somewhat oxidative style. Really quite fun.
