Toujours excellent mais clairement en déclin par rapport à nos dernières observations en 2018. Considérant ses 15 ans par ailleurs, sa tenue est exemplaire, bravo!!

Popped and poured. Lanolin aroma. Rich flavors of lanolin, stone fruit, a bit of honey. Apricot pit in the finish. Straight up chenin flavor profile with some complexity, firm backbone, slightly heavy mouthfeel, dry with just a hint of sweetness. Fully mature, with no hint of decline.

R/Y/I/C (Home): Mid to full straw. Quite a minerally nose with a sense of richness. A fraction off-dry, really quite ripe and rounded. Less complex or mineral than the Bournais, but very decent. Drinking well but no hurry. ***1/2

Grand! A pleurer après 3 heures d’ouverture... Couleur jaune intense, larmes épaisses. Nez de projection moyenne, aucune trace d’oxydation, aucune!, miel, pommes jaunes, poires chaudes, cardamome, iode, argile, paille séchée, caramel anglais, fleur de sel, magnifique... La bouche est encore tendue, belle acidité, minérale, homogène. A son apogée probablement... 92-93

The aroma-profile of this wine develops like a wave - restraint nose, honey scented with gentle scent of various citruses with peels, warm and calm. The first impression on the palate is sleek body, very polished and soft. The flavours come afterwards - broad, rich, sappy, very fresh, clean, in great balance, culminating in sweet and long dry finish. Great wine!
