  Dégage des arômes de silex, de cailloux mouillés, d'agrumes, de pomme verte et de miel. Jolie bouche texturé, équilibré, sec mais très légère impression de sucrosité. Un autre excellent blanc de la Loire, vendu à prix honnête! À racheter pour l'été!

  First had the wine at a restaurant in NYC, then purchased 6 bottles from Astor Wines and went through those bottles very quickly. It's a lovely Chenin Blanc with floral and lemony aroma and flavors with nice acidity. I really like this wine. Looking to pick up some more - perhaps 2013 vintage.

  Sur les fruits à chair blanche, avec une touche florale et mielleuse également. Une touche minérale s'ajoute en milieu/fin de bouche. La texture est soyeuse, ce qui apporte une belle rondeur en bouche. Au niveau de l'acidité c'est assez tendu et donne une belle impression de fraicheur. De longueur moyenne, il s'est avéré très bien versus le prix demandé.

  Wow. Rich aromas. Nectarine, floral, honey. Some Botrytis affected grapes, I presume. Crispy honey aromas. Palate delivers a lot of weight. Full and rich fruit palate. A little fuzzy texture. Damn this good wine.

  Pale lemon in hue and brilliantly clear. Out of the cellar, the moderately muted nose reveals hints of Meyer lemon, faint scent of peach, and a fair amount of what comes across as flintiness.
  Medium round in the mouth, oily viscosity, high acid. On the palate the wine tastes of unripe pineapple, green apple skin, chalk and limestone. There is a fairly long and pronounced mineral finish, almost as if sucking on a small river rock.
  
  Over time, as the wine warmed, the mouthfeel became rounder and the impression of minerality lessened. Definitely preferred with a chill. Overall interesting and nuanced wine with a long finish. Highly enjoyable.
