Sunday, January 9, 2022 - Tasted in a flight of Savenierres among 11 total Chenin blancs.
This bottle had mold in the capsule, but thankfully the wine was perfectly sound, even a little clean for the Domaine. I saw a video recently where Nicolas Joly is talking with Gary V about his wines’ unique and individual personalities. This one is a high school quarterback. Confident, knows he’s the bmoc, well rounded, not lacking in any particular way, but a bit boisterous too, with the alcohol over 15% really sticking out like a popped collar. Still, this wine was showy, not as exotic as the 17, and built for a long age.
