January 13, 2024 - Finally a great bottle of this, wafting if not rocketing from the glass with a complete, complex nose, filling the room with clover honey, acacia, mirabelle, almond, and cooked mushroom. What texture this shows in the mouth with acidity to match and aromas of youth balanced by those of maturity. Fabulous with cheese, and a fabulous example of why ever cellar should have some representation of the Loire.

September 9, 2023 - A Ledbury Dinner: Deep bronzed amber, almost a hint of copper. Marmalade and butterscotch nose. Similar on the palate, more rich than sweet and balanced by still significant acidity. Little change from a bottle twelve years ago. ***1/2

February 25, 2023 - Dark rusty red! to brown color. Complex and super clean aromas of dried yellow fruits, honey and raisins. Extremely sweet and concentrated (390 g/l sugar), compact and undeveloped in the mouth. This wine will last for decades, despite the color. My first note on this 10-11 years ago has turned out to be totally wrong. This is, I guess, as good as sweet Chenin Blanc can be.

1/31/2008 (link)(Huet Vouvray "Cuvee Constance") I was very excited to try this. It was closed, awkward and weird. There was nice botrytis development as the nose was praline, dusty spicey earth, marmalade and almonds. The palate was kind of blah-zay with not much going on and turned in on itself. Nice wine for sure with a killer finish and good acidity and freshness but give this 50 years and check back. Full bottle too. Maybe would be a touch more developed in a 1/2 bottle.
