7/31/2015 - budh wrote: 91 pointsDeep gold color. Expressive nose includes honey, key lime, candied green apple, wet wool/oily notes. That and herbs, stone fruit and salty/stoney minerality on the palate. Full body, high acidity, long finish of honey, herbs, citrus, peach. A little sweeter than some demi-secs, but the acidity makes this a lovely, zippy, versatile wine. Still has plenty of life left. |

7/19/2015 - jahlove Likes this wine: NRFour years since my last taste of this bottle, I'd hope there would be more development. Though I'm not not complaining, as this wine is still very fresh. Familiar profile of yellow fruits with floral and tea-like notes carried nicely by a wave of mouthwatering salinity. This dry, well balanced white has plenty of zip making it a great accompaniment to summer dinner fare. At this point, doesn't seem like it's going to evolve into anything earth shattering, but I like what it has to offer and happy to have one more in the cellar to check on in another 4 years. |

7/9/2015 - flussier wrote: 90 pointsRobe de couleur dorée ambrée foncée. Beau nez complexe sur l'ananas, brioche, miel, boisé, cire, minéral et pétrole. Vin avec une bonne acidité et contrairement a la sensation au nez d'un demi-sec, le vin est sec. Autres les aromes retrouvés au nez, on retrouve celui de la banane.. Proche d'un chardonnay rond. Avec les années, le vin a perdu un peu en puissance, mais a gagné en complexité. |

7/5/2015 - td1836 Likes this wine: 91 pointsMedium gold color, floral nose with some citrus notes and a bit of yeast. Off-dry, tropical flavors with good acidity cutting through the sweetness. Long, smooth finish. Really enjoying these Chenin Blancs from Chidaine, especially for the price paid. |

11/3/2013 - td1836 wrote: 92 pointsStraw colored with a nose bursting with peach, lime, honey, and caramel. Palate is a wonderful balance of vibrant citrus (lemon) against the residual sugar (honey/caramel), and leads to a long finish. |

7/7/2015 - christyler wrote: NRThis was...odd. On first opening, it had a bit of a musty / advanced smell. That did blow off, and it did end up developing the lemony / mineral laden profile that I love. However, it was a little too far on the lemony side for me, and I didn't love this as much as previous bottles. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

6/29/2015 - r.o.man Likes this wine: 92 pointsBeautiful weight, great volume and good length. Loosing its primal energy and esprit, but still a lot going on. The wine is opening up with air, deepening great lemon zest and citrusy juice with mild sweet spices. Quite intense and long with deep warm energy. |

6/27/2015 - Vinsant Likes this wine: NRPerfect fair for CR Salmon and risotto. Apple cider, quince, gravel, mead, and chalk on the nose and palate with a light layer of wool over the top of all. In a great place but has some life left. Sweet, savory, and salty all at once. |

5/2/2015 - CamWheeler wrote: 90 pointsLoire Valley Masterclass and Tasting: Quite intense nose with smoke, ash, nuttiness and apple. Can taste the residual sugar on the palate but it is well integrated. Mouthfilling weight to the fruit. Has interest on the nose and is tasty to drink with that residual sugar, so plenty to like here. |
