You could put this in a single-blind tasting lineup of Loire chenins as a ringer, and it would fool most. I would rather celebrate it solo, with food.
Bright green-gold, with hints of the brassy color it will be one day. Bruised yellow apples and pears, candied lemon peel, beeswax and lanolin. Crushed rock, flinty and slightly phenolic. Totally dry but implies a sucrosity that just killed it next to chicken-fried maitake & oyster mushrooms.
Many years ahead for this one. Sactown Savennières? #hellachenin 🍐🐝🐑🪨

Lime, honey, fresh lily. Salty sea air, and so fresh.
