January 27, 2022 - Loire night: Some wooliness on this and muddled green fruit. Someone mentioned that this might have seen some heat damage but I thought that this was down to bottle variation due to non-interventionist winemaking. Not the biggest fan of this.

May 21, 2018 - Excellent little value. 2013 is my favorite recent vintage for these.

October 2, 2017 - This wine shows the 2013 Loire ripeness on the nose and palate. Orchard fruit notes and a lushness not usually associated with Chenin blanc. It's not overdone and well balanced by acid and mineral notes.

March 14, 2016 - At Gramercy Tavern w/ Victor T, tasting of whites w/appetizers organized by the somm. interesting Chenin Blanc from the Loire
Medium/light straw color. Nose was interesting balance of citrus, floral notes (acacia?) lees. Bright palate of citrus, quince, lees, honey, pears. Smooth and "polished" wine...very nice -

December 29, 2015 - Un chenin sur un sol très ferreux. Très sec, avec une belle persistance. J'ai bien aimé
