February 7, 2022 - A little muted on night one but gains focus on night two. Very good complexity and minerality with a beautiful line of acidity through the finish. Surprising intensity. Very good.

October 6, 2021 - This is fine. Elegant floral aromas and mineral notes. Pear. Something slightly licorice also. Still quite fresh. Not too weighty in the mouth, which many dry Chenins to my taste can be. Among several Chenins tasted on the same evening this was my favorite for its grace and freshness. No hurry to drink this.

August 9, 2021 - A great Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Straw yellow. Minerals dominate with hints of crisp pear. Balanced acidity, long rich finish. Drinking well now-should last at least 3-5 more years. Wish I had more...

Pear and white flowers on the nose, then a crisp mouthful which goes from apples and pears, through to slight touches of honey, then back to the pears. I liked the clear, pure precision of the tastes, but the problem is the price: at around 50€, I cannot see the difference between this and countless other wines costing 20-25€. Maybe I just need to wait a bit longer.

August 7, 2019 - Nez pas démonstratif mais très élégant, délicat sur des notes fraîches de poire et de pêche blanche complétées par une pointe florale.
Bouche élancée avec une matière fuselée. C'est tout en longueur avec une présence qui joue la subtilité.
Grande persistance clairement dans un registre minéral/salin avec une intensité incroyable.
Très très joli, mais il faut un peu de temps pour "rentrer dedans".
