Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 5, 2022 - Incredible French white wine, young Loire valley sauvignon blanc now produced by Didier's son and the new wine making team, intense, totally approachable and drinkable now but this has a long way to go to evolve into true maturity and potential and I suspect based on the '06 and '07's that we have that on maturation starting in 5-7 years+ score wise this will easily be 96+ points. Full bodied, smooth, intense core and nose at this stage a bit reticent and muted with acidic notes overlayed bu white peach, musk melon and a hint of burnt sugar. Flavor profile intense with yeast, pear, a hint of green tea that we have come across before on Didier's wines, honey suckle and a sweeter note of caramel on the beautiful long drawn out finish. Highly recommend with the caveat and understanding that right now this is still a very young wine needing years more cellaring time - if drunk now this white wine would actually benefit from 3-4 hours in the decanter. Right now a moderate QPR wine, despite the price point on full maturation this will likely be a very reasonable QPR wine, it will be just that good.
