I’m a Loire Chenin freak. It makes up a solid quarter of my cellar, mostly Huet, Domaine Aux Moines, and Chidaine. But this bottle blew me away this morning, sitting on a stifling rooftop pool deck in Tampa. I was transported to Vouvray, or Amboise, or Montlouis. So much great acid, ripe fruit, and kerosene phenolics, this is all I ask for in a dry Chenin, and I got it for like $19. Bravo. How can I get more?!

Perfect Loire Franc. Edgy, a touch of brett, plenty of fruit and spice, but the age has calmed it down. Drink this now.

Usually I LOVE this wine, but this vintage is completely lacking in the acid department; the Vulcaia generally depends on acid, because duh, oaked sauv blanc....without it, it’s flabby and uninteresting. First time I’ve had a bad vintage of this wine, super disappointed.
