January 15, 2023 - la Gloire de la Loire...
so rich and complex on the nose: apricot jam, honey, myriad spices and herbs, cooked citrus, petrichor... dense and layered on the palate, long honeyed finish, residual sugar is still quite apparent, but I can see it turning quite dry in the next decade, this will be worth following many more year
I would like to know if any botrytis affected fruit went into this cuvee... -

July 18, 2020 - Outstanding.
Brilliant apricot golden color, a nose redolent of quince, apricot, and nectar. On the tongue, all of those flavors came through, layer upon layer of fruit, with supple acidity which kept the taste lively and light. An absolutely perfect balance. Delicious.
Perfect to drink now, but these wines last forever... no rush.
Rated +3 on a scale of -1 to +3. -

April 22, 2020 - Opened out of the fridge and showed absolutely nothing, just sweet. An hour opened though and this totally transformed, honey and wooly, really the ur-chenin. A bit sweeter than I thought it would be but (after a few hours opened) there was great balance with nice acidity.

September 19, 2018 - Melon, nutmeg, honey, and orange flavors on the nose. Beautiful palate with flavors of citrus, honey, spices, and cantaloupe. Long finish.

August 23, 2018 - Really fine bottle. Deep, gold-ish color. Balanced, lively acidity. Packed with baked apple and honey notes, but not at all overdone. Really nice balance and energy. Drinking well, no signs of slowing down.
