February 4, 2024 - Bruised pears, tropical notes and subtle minerality (limestone I think). Decent length and texture too.
All around well made easy sipper. -

August 22, 2022 - 24€ at a restaurant in Chinon. 100% Chenin Blanc. After a week of riding, we had finally made it to Chinon and I was thus craving some Chenin. Red dominates in the region, with Chenin Blanc only 5% of the total production. Perhaps needless to say, not much white from the region makes it to the U.S., so I needed to take advantage of my proximity to the variety. Straw to lightly yellow in the glass and quite shy on the nose with only a faint citrus coming through. Weighty and fruity on the palate with a nice acidity and finish. Not the best white Chinon I’ve had, but a fine representative of the genre.
