September 29, 2022 - Drinking superbly. Lovely exotic nose of tropical fruits plus that characteristic wet wool chenin thing. Gorgeous mid weight palate balances superbly sweetness with razor sharp acidity. Drinks beautifully with blue cheese etc. a real eye opener and a star of the vintage.

April 19, 2020 - Cork completely fell apart. Smelled like it turned to vinegar. But it was delicious. Balanced Honey And apricot and flowers and slightly sherryfied. 92/93

November 17, 2019 - Francois Chidaine Montlouis Les Lys 2009.
Herlig intensitet.
Klokkeren frukt og sylskarp nerve.
Fremstår som en miks av Sauternes og Auslese.
Perfekt balansert og lang finish.
Får spyttkjertlene til å jobbe.
Meget hyggelig bekjentskap. 93p
