Sharp lemon hints of woodsiness in an unusually austere chenin blanc for this producer. With time after opening (2+h), more characteristic glycerine and white stone fruit emerged. Excellent with winter meatball soup. 88/89

Tasted at the winery. This is a good table wine, some Asian pear, lively acidity. Understandbly from a bad year, with frost damage… but a far cry from what can be produced by this vintner in a good year. Drink the ‘21 young, this is not for aging. Paired well with a meaty white fish tonight. 88/89

Well made Chenin Blanc - mineral, citrus, good now, but no hurry

Pretty solid Chenin. Crisp and dry with some earthy, savory notes. Nice with grilled shrimp and summer veggies. I’d buy this again.

Citrus and some pear, a young and steely Chenin from a difficult year. Pretty well made for early consumption.

Straw colour; chalky, with air some fragrance, vegetal; soft, friable, lacks focus; easy going finish. Drink in flush of youth.

Pas très typé sur le chenin.
Je pense qu'il faut attendre quelques années pour mieux l'apprécier.

Really lovely young chenin. White fruits and bruised apple on nose. Quite full, but with bracing acidity.

Only one white cuvée this vintage because of frost damage. This is 50% from new vines. Matured in 300hl barrels
Chalk and light smoke on nose
Clean white fruit on palate, lively per acidity on back
