(Dav) Très chenin au nez Miéllé, mineral, rhubarbe, mais un peu simple Pareil en bouche, c’est tendu, avec de beaux amers, doté d’une belle finale acidulée, eau de roche, mais L’ensemble s’avère un peu monolithique. Propre, agréable, Rafraichissant, tendu, bien que timide aromatiquement donc.

Very distinct chenin. All the characteristics are there, just seems to be pushed to one end of the spectrum. Really enjoy this. Need to get get red as well.

Pale yellow color. Quite savory nose that is a bit all over the place, showing vague aromas of dried autumnal leaves, some chopped nuts, a little bit of beeswax and a touch of hay. Very little in the way of fruits here. The wine is dry, pretty neutral and light-to-medium-bodied on the palate with rather austere flavors of tart green apples, some almondy nuttiness, a little bit of grapefruit, a hint of apple peel bitterness and a touch of quinine. Overall the wine feels somewhat smutty and uninteresting. The finish is quite crisp and bitter with unfocused flavors of apple peel bitterness, some citrus fruits and a hint of hay.
Meh. Somewhat smutty, uninteresting and perhaps even a bit unclean Chenin. In a tasting of mainly Chenin Blancs, this was by far the least impressive effort. If memory serves, I didn't hear one single positive word on the wine. This is a mediocre Chenin Blanc at best. Feels quite a rip-off at 21€.

Medium to full bodied, dry, fruit driven, showing focused apple and floral notes. Very good. Paired well with grilled pulpo at Pastis.
