Pear, nuttiness, and oak on the bouquet. In a weighty and oxidative style, and lighter on acid than its energetic stablemate. A rock solid effort, if a touch disjointed.

I have become quite fond of this wine though unfortunately the winemakers have retired from making wine apparently. Such a nice old vines Chenin. Texture like a good chard, but more minerals and a pear/orchard fruit profile and a touch of nectarine. Delicious with a little air and drinking great with 5 years of age. May age well too...?

Similar to their other old vines bottling. Great structure and very much like a Loire Chenin blanc.

Easy drinking summer wine on a hot day. Not overtly sweet, pear, citrus, floral, bright and refreshing.
