The Roches Neuves approach to chenin is always artistic and individualistic. This wine is no different. Closed at first with a steel backbone of acidity, eventually minerality, fruit, and some delicious funk emerged. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses in the years to come.

Early days here, really well judged acidity, starting to show some waxy development, maybe in no man’s land right now. Day 2 it’s more chenin like, more giving by far, more fruit and some wet wool, this should develop over a good few years, I’ll check back in a year or 2

Pop and pour (from the fridge, so colder than cellar temp to start). On the nose: laser focus, electric green apple, soft oxidative notes and a touch of lanolin, sour lemon. On the palate: stunning acidity, sea salt, lemon, sour apple, fantastic weight and density, and so clean. Just lovely now, but plenty of room to pick up weight. Wait a while for next bottle, but pretty spectacular already.
