Beautiful. Florals and stone fruit. Excellent depth and concentration. Age has really benefitted this wine. Couldn't have asked for a better showing.

Amazing stuff. Quite reductive and burgundy in style. Crisp, yellow apples, slight honey.

Classic woolly, lanolin Chenin Blanc with nice complexity, stone fruit, herbs and lime.
I like the laser like precision, awesome.

Green flowers, coriander, bitter honey, passion fruits, orange juice, ripe apricots, cedar and spoke on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate is driven by secondary flavors. it starts with cedar and butter, transitioning to the fruit, limestone and bitter herbs and finally finishing with more oak and bitter yeast flavors. Feels like there is a fair amount of oak, malo and lees aging on this. It changes quite a bit on the palate, though keepsthe same medium + intensity of flavors throughout.

Agree with the other reviewer who said it needs to shed its baby fat. As it stands right now, I like the nose more than the palate. Still developing, recommend holding for at least 3-5 more years.

5/15/2024 - Bolognese Diner Likes this wine: 91 points

From 70-year-old vines planted in three parcels on silt and sand topsoils covering softer limestone bedrock, the 2017 Saumur Bizay Les Chapaudisers opens with a discreet and tart yet concentrated cherry aroma on the nose that is intertwined with refreshing lemon juice and also stony notes. Full-bodied, intense and fleshy on the palate, this is a concentrated, tight and powerful yet elegant Cabernet with ripe and round tannins and a long and intense finish. The wine is pleasurable and unfined, yet it's full of character and with smooth and ripe fruit in the aftertaste.

Perfect age for this Chenin. beautifully concentrated notes of bruised apple, citrus, and apricot. nutty waxy aromas with a minerality on the palate which matches the bright acidity well

👃🏼Wet Wool, quince, Almond, pear, yellow Apples, citrus

👅 Less pronounced than on the nose! Crescendo acidity - seeems flabby at first but then hits you like a train!

Would strongly reccomend to keep it in the cellar for another couple of years!

HUGE QPR!!!

A bit annoyed about this wine, i need to admit. It had virtually no nose. So nothing to start the experience with. As it might have been too cold, we took it out of the cooler and waited a bit. To no avail, as it stayed utterly muted. On the palate it showed a nice glycerin texture and a nice balance, w crisp acidity underpinning the rounded mouthfeel. It showed hints of tropical fruits, but overall stayed muted also on the palate. So started to analyze and guess, retrying and getting after the sense of the wine.

The sommelier did a brilliant sales job pointing us to the bottle, but i did regret not having stayed with the st aubin I initially put my eyes on.

This finally aged enough to be enjoyable. Very nice Cab Franc that goes with anything in a casual setting. Needs some air (gave it about 90 minutes) but the fruit shows and it went very well with a whole assortment of Mediterranean stuff. Not going to knock your socks off but a good value every day wine.

Light tulip color. Lots of oak vanillin at first which ameliorates over a few hours to reveal more fruit. Medium+ weight, not as glycerine and dense as these wines can be. Obvious oak tones, a touch of herbs, then some later citrus. The richness of the year buffers the usual acidity. At least excellent, but as usual, there is a lot of wood that needs to be shed before it comes into balance.

Ganske reduktiv fra åpning. Kruttlapp, grønt eple og lime. Lasersyre og bra kons. Nam nam. Virker veldig ung, skulle ønske jeg hadde fler flasker. Drukket til diverse oster

Très fin, bonne acidité comme tout les vins de Guiberteau, peut-etre un peu trop, beau fruit un peu mince mais son point fort est sa belle pureté. Bien honnête pour 60$ a l'époque mais je n'achète pas a 95$
Un vin qui nécessite encore un bon 5 ans afin que l'acidité se calme.

-- popped and poured --
-- tasted a couple pours non-blind over a couple hrs. --

Some noticeable age on the Nose and Palate -- it comes across as appropriately advanced for its age. More youthful than my previous bottle on 01/28/22. Light wafts of ginger and honey on the moderately-aged Nose. Palate leans a bit to the lighter side, and it came across as a bit watery / lacking in density and depth. Given how well my previous bottle responded to healthy air exposure, it's certainly possible this bottle, too, would have similarly benefited if given the opportunity. Drink Now and over the near term.

Sans la flamboyance de la première bouteille mais de très belle expression. Plus jeune d'attendu et doté d'un fruit mûr frais, le vin possède un très bel équilibre avec une structure noble qui évite la facilité ennuyante. Encore au moins deux ans avant la dernière. 90+?

Haven’t touched one of these in years, and the time has been good to it: complex, bright but not screeching acidity, and with the primary lemon and apple fruit now taking a back seat to richer, deeper flavors, though this is still only in early middle age. A fabulous spring food wine, and a wine for contemplation too. Glad I have another; I’ll sample across vintages and bottlings and let this last one sit for another 5 years at a minimum.

"Pairs with Sadness" (Chicago, IL): Guiberteau just doesn't do it for me. This shows a bit of chenin wooliness and honeycomb, and with air the oak starts to become more and more prominent. High acidity but there just doesn't seem to be much there, there. For the price these go for nowadays, there's plenty of better chardonnay. Or if you're insisting on chenin -- just drink Huet.

Intense nose with grilled aromas, a hint of reduction then once this has dissipated, lime and a herbaceous touch.

Very nicely matured palate, there is tension with menthol coming through. The aromas of toasted bread gradually give way to a very charming lime. Sensation of a ripe wine. Beautiful finish, much more elongated than the mouth.

Very good wine even if the grilled style tires me a little.

Birthday party (Chicago, IL): From magnum. High acid, but lacking complexity and definition on the palate. Must admit I am not a big fan of this style of chenin (Huet is the way chenin should be made) and I'd much rather drink chardonnay if it's made like this.

Medium yellow in color. Aromas of yellow citrus zest, florals, quince, wool and hay on the nose. Shows good texture on the palate with waxy yellow citrus fruits, a savory herbal note, good acidity and an engaging bitter/citrus pith finish. Compared to a previous bottle the acidity has settled down.

Tulip colored. Hay, lanolin, and faint citrus on the nose. What is most arresting about this is the texture-broad, glycerine, creamy, and concentrated. Yes, there is some wood, but in proportion to the tremendous material here. A bit lactic, strong soil, grapefruit and bitter citrus, and thrilling acidity. This would easily compete with or outcompete many Grand Cru white Burgundies and is one of the greatest dry Loire wines I’ve ever had. All of this from a middling Touraine vintage. Remarkable.

My friend opened this (and the 2019 Breeze) over his Birthday weekend while we were together to celebrate. It's frea@ing brilliant...there's a level of purity, authenticity, tension, and balance that I crave, search out, and treasure in fine wine. This is one of the world's best white wines. Extraordinary!!

Feels like this is in a dumb phase right now, nose was overwhelmingly reductive and never really blew off even after a splash decant. Luckily palate was much more generous with citrus and orchard fruits, prominent vanilla. Medium + to high acidity. I would hold off on opening another any time soon.

-- uncorked and first glass poured about 1 hr. before initial taste on Day 1 --
-- tasted blind alongside another Guiberteau (’20 Guichaux) over 2 hrs on Day 1; revisited on Days 3, 4, and 5 --

NOSE: Day 1: oaky; singed 2x4”; fruit is tangy and slightly tropical, but the aromas are moderately expressive, at best today. Day 3: still oaky, but it has drawn-back some; moderately expressive (less expressive than the other wine).

BODY: tan-yellow color of medium intensity (identical to other wine); {forgot to note weight – seem to recall it about medium to medium-full}

TASTE: Day 1: oaky, in the same way the Nose is; really nice juicy acidity – medium+ to high; a touch buttery at moments; if the oak gets absorbed over time, this is the better wine of the two; could 100% see this as a White Burg. ringer. Day 3: largely same as Day 1: ample juicy acidity; oaky; still seems to have some reduction, amazingly. {bags pulled at end of Day 3}. Day 4: continued on same path --- I *think* this is excellent, but I am concerned about the oak blanket here --- if the oak integrates with additional age then this will be gangbusters! Day 5: even less oaky, and still delicious. Gut impression score: 90 – 95?
