It's been a minute since I've tasted Chidaine's wines and I do miss them. They're somewhere in between the natural texture of, for example, Mosse and something more mainstream like Huet. It's that textural generosity mixed with the full spectrum of Chenin aromas and flavors that makes it so enjoyable. Not the last word in structure, but enough acidity to work well at the table. Not sure it will be a long aging wine but that's less important than how wonderfully it shows now.
