Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc

Knock out!

Prestige and soft acidity. Orange peel notes clean and very approachable. Clean and layers of exotic tangerine. This is a real treat!!

Maddeningly inconsistent...this was good but had some weird plasticky volatile stuff going on and also a bit oxidized

J O L Y!!! 900 years of continuous farming.

Still so young and showing me what Chenin Blanc can be.

Not entirely convinced with this on Thursday yet by Sunday it was a tasty drink - 2011

Dry, yellow apple, complex, delicious.

I don't think I've had an example of this wine vinified by Virginie until now. In my humble opinion, quality is WAY UP now. Too many pre-2006 examples were mealy, oxidized and awkwardly alcoholic. I'm glad to see one of the world's most enviable vineyard sites skew toward quality rather than simply bio-d dogma (again -- humbly opining).

The toast on this oak must ++. Burnt sugar, liquor finish, devastatingly interesting, lemon, slightly oxidized, wow.

Just like heaven.
