March 16, 2024 - A truly great bottle of wine, as good a white wine as I've had this year and every bit the wine as a 2011 Dauvissat Clos alongside it (which was great in it's own right). Floral yellow fruits encased in quartz. Rich and pliant on the palate with a strong spine and structure. Has some classic lanolin and beeswax notes. I find the combination of richness and vibrancy thrilling. It took about 30 minutes to get going and never dropped off before we finished it a couple of hours later. Other notes are either not that enthusiastic or complain of an oxidized wine. My previous bottle of this was good, but this one was truly exceptional. Maybe it's the old axiom of no great wines just great bottles.

November 26, 2023 - Nose where honeysuckle dominates, with peach and flint.
In the mouth, sensation of a Chenin harvested in its fullness, very balanced with beautiful juice and good acidity. The wine has a fairly fine profile, very mineral, with flavors of pear and a herbaceous side. I find it hollow in the middle of the mouth. But the finish is beautiful, slender, very mineral, with good length.
Very good, but given the price asked second hand (100€) they are not worth them. I clearly preferred the Brézé Rougeard 2012 drunk a week earlier. -

Certains diront que c`est peut-être sur la particularité de son profil aromatique, pour moi, clairement un défaut ici!1 person found this helpful Comment
