Quiet, elegant nose of beeswax, ripe pear and smoke. Rambunctious, lively and textured in the mouth, bursting with grilled lemon and green apple plus notes of salt and smoke, all underpinned by smooth stoniness. A cool, youthful wine that is full of energy. (Jason Wilson, Vinous, July 2020)

Gorgeous nose. This is Chenin for white burgundy drinkers. More Guibertau than Anjou. Nice to see this in Anjou. Gorgeous nose. Very mineral, very spicey, sliced white almonds. Quince, honeycomb. Flowers. Smells like 1er Cru Chassagne Of Chenin. Tastes like that too. Stunning. Hypnotic. Lemon lime, grilled nuts. So Chenin, no oxidation, tons of aromatic depth. Layered and ethereal. Palate is so lithe yet stuffed. Wow. What energy and precision. Such lean structure and focused like a laser. So concentrated and long. My god this is long. Stunningly pure. A revelation. The finish lingers for minutes. Terrific structure purity and balance. Just world class wine and amazingly unique and delicious. Never had an Anjou Blanc this good. I prefer over Richard Leroy. This is more my style. Full of acid and energy. So vibrant. So refined and so young. What a wine.
