Touche-Mitaine Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc

Held up well despite some age and probable heat exposure along the way. Honeyed and pleasantly oxidative with bright acidity shining through

First time drinking Xavier’s wines and I’m really impressed. Stone fruit, apricot, peach, pineapple, white flowers...and continues to open with air and comes up to temp. Really delicious and reminds me a bit of Sandlands Chenin.

Drinks similarly to a dry Riesling with the lemon lift and the lasting acidity. Pleasant!

bitter green almonds, unripened pear very cool juice.

One of the top 3 chenins I tried out of 75 to 80..in the Loire

Great intensity (assisted by a a couple grams of rs,) and length. Less funky and savory than the last bottle I had, but very tasty

Very concentrated and even a bit of extract - but still very pure, and racy. Muted and mostly mineral upon opening but just a few minutes of air brings out the spice and fruit (with some surprising tropical notes). High intensity and length for a $25 retail. Maybe not the most refined at this stage but could reward further aging

Chenin with a few years on it? Yes please! Herbal, savory, with a hint of citrus and a lot of acidity. Ever so slightly oxidized. Pretty cool stuff.

Aromatic white flowers , Botriytis orange peel full and rich very pleased!

I've enjoyed the off-dry wines from Weiskopf but this dry one tasted more like Chablis than Chenin. Not that that's a bad thing considering the price!
