Un Saumon dans la Loire
Minéral + Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc
Scored this back-vintage Mineral+ off the shelf at Flatiron, actually my first go at this wine. I get the hype! Complex and delicious tree fruit, oxidized yellow apples, pears, lemons, dank sea spray and beach aromas, ripping acid with plenty of meat on the bones. Very very savory and saline, literally smells salty. I imagine the vintage gave this wine some extra weight, but the thiccness suits my palate fine. This wine actually reminds me of @Erik Longabardi ‘s Suburban Moraines cider- brings me back to an early fall day on the LI sound. Love it.

Lean styled Chenin, more mineral than orchard fruit, and a nice addition of funk. From magnum at #DinnerattheLongTable wine dinner last Friday.

Oct 24th, 2016Funky with subtle fruit and a mineral-focused palate. Proscuitto, wet hay, salumi mold, funk, wet rocks, lemons. Really showed more charm with ratatouille and air.

Aug 28th, 2016Funky as... Gentle acidity and off dry. Really unique nose. Beautiful floral hints but a lot of meaty weird
