Vintage 2015 | No better way to start a new year, with Chenin Blanc! Former notes apply. Paired with halibut and a improvised ratatouille. And cheese.

Vintage 2015 | Chenin Blanc that is very useful to combine with food. I drank this with 1) rillettes, 2) prunes with bacon from grill, 3) charcuterie. With the prunes it was perfection. Smell with flint, peaches and a hint of papaya, great acidity, but off dry why it combines so good with different foods. Nice to drink a wine from this small appellation with so much potential.

Fruity ‘n flinty. Wet pebbles. Ripe lime, melon and honey. I suspect this is an adolescent. Poured in big glasses and needed time to open up. Still somewhat shy. Promising stuff.

Golden, medium body. Minerally, honey (medium sweet), rich/round acidity. Floral but not too 🌸🌺🌼. Astor $30 ➡️ $22. Another Kermit Lynch winner.

Had by the glass at République. Very delicious Chenin Blanc that had us forgetting about the other options.
