Chenin Blanc more

Golden oily yellow. Sweet peaches and orange nose, dash of acidity, pineapple and tropical fruit. Tangy lemon acidity, grapefruit, pineapple, splash of honey. Quite tropical. Enjoyable and ok.

At MV tasting. Nose closed, palate simple. 100% Chenin Blanc. Not for me.

Overall a nice wine. A little too green in the pyrazine department for my tastes. Definitely more on the nose than the palate, but still dominate throughout. Began to mellow out and show more red fruit and spice as it sat out.

Good color. The nose shows aromas of pear, melon, white flowers, chalk and oak. This is medium bodied on the palate with very good concentration and real class. The medium plus length finish features good acid cut. Another year or two and this will be in prime form.

Chenin Chenin Chenin; 11/10/2023-11/12/2023: #8 Nose is almost non existent, maybe a little lemon and slate? But it shows up on the palate, lemon curd and a tiny bit of honey, lovely medium body and great acid and minerality, almost resembles a great cru Muscadet. None of the typical wooly Chenin beeswax stuff, just lemon chalk granite juice. Killer. And at this price ($48nzd retail, so like…$29usd)? Bonkers good, in the running for wotn.

Very good Chenin. Fine and well-balanced, it shows citrus skins on the nose and palate. Good acidity and nice bitterness in the finish that helps the final to be longer. Very strong pleasure/ price ratio. Very good winemaking.

9/25/2023 - uncorked.fr Likes this wine: NR

Organic wine. 35 year-old vines. Fermented in stainless steel vats, aged 2 years sur lattes. The nose is quite light and airy. The palate follows suit for the most part but the smoky minerality really emerges on the tongue, which actually made me like this wine even more. The finish is ever so slightly salty and actually lingers on quite some time. Lovely.

APPEARANCE:
Color & intensity: pale lemon

NOSE:
Intensity: medium (+)
Aromas: green apple, bread dough, white flowers, flint, pastry, pear
Development: developing

PALATE:
Sweetness: dry
Acidity: medium (+)
Alcohol: medium
Body: medium
Mousse: delicate
Intensity: medium (+)
Flavors: smoke, lemon, flint, lemon zest, bread dough, hint of salt
Finish: medium (+)

CONCLUSIONS:
Quality level: very good
Potential for ageing: can drink now, but has good potential for some further ageing

Prince - Cabernets of the world (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Funky, bretty, sour red berry fruit, a little herbaceous note accompanies pencil shavings. Tight, tooled, textured tannins dominate the palate, Brett, red berry and meaty notes in support. It's a bit out of whack.

Predominant apple flavors with a bright lemony kick. Pretty linear, thin even. Worked really well in spritzes, but still enjoyable on its own. I sensed very little lees contact although I confess I don’t know anything about its vinification.

Xandied apple and toasted pignoli witha trade of citrus peel, this is daintly sweet. Good weight, still holding on with enough brightness to keep it interesting.

Super interesting. Huge wine, deep dark nose, touch maybe octanoic acid, touch brett, it’s more Bordeaux than anything else, def not a typical Loire. Very nice.

Un nez assez discret, en bouche l'attaque est fraiche et sympa mais la finale un peu déviante. Après un peu d’aération, on le sent moins. C'est pas trop mal mais pas extra et pas sur que ça vale ses 18 euros.

Beau vin franc de gout et bien équilibré.
Pommes vertes et poires avec un peu d'herbes
et des épices. Assez long et bien droit en finale.
Très bon.

J’avais beaucoup aimé le pinot noir, je tombe sur cette cuvée et je me suis empressée de tester !
Robe très très sombre, impénétrable, fushia sur le bord du disque.
Le premier nez est sur la fève de tonka, on dirait vraiment de la negrette. Puis arrivent des fruits noirs, epices genre réglisse. En bouche le vin est sapide, c’est pas un vin pour pdf, mais ça reste tout à fait buvable, avec une jolie trame vive et fraîche. Pas mal de tanins mais pas agressifs.
Ca se laisse boire avec plaisir mais pas beaucoup de complexité ni de longueur.
