I’ve had this wine a few times, notably at the domain in 2019 and bought a few bottles during my trip. I’ve enjoyed this wine a lot but tonight it’s even better than I remember. Bruised apple and mild citrus notes on both the nose and palate. Flavors are more profound and complex than four years ago. Enough acidity to carry the load. Just delicious!

4.5 years after the prior: This was lively, showing depth and character. Enjoyable on opening, and perhaps even more so on the second and third nights.

Opened. Initially, fairly tight and not giving much Now 2h after opening.. aromas of wet wool, a bit of honeysuckle, tart apples, minerals. Palate w slight effervescent bubbles, tart apples, lemon, a bit of lemon pith, lovely minerals, a bit wet wool, and the barest bit of nutty oxidation. Medium body. Great balance. Moderate complex finish. Excellent acids on a med+ body. Definitely room for more evolution but drinking nicely now w a lot of air. 92+

Very tasty; definitely chenin blanc with some honey and ripe orchard fruits, mango, and classic wool and earth notes. The mousse is subtle, but quite enjoyable.

Very nice Chenin, classic with lovely honey, tea, lanolin notes; just a kiss of honey on the palate. EWG Loire dinner at Otono
