  Bright golden straw in color. On the nose is citrus and a waxy note. Lovely, complex mouthfeel...this has the depth and richness of a really good white burgundy, but where that might turn buttery or creamy, this turns mineral and more fruity. Long finish and good acidity. Really wonderful wine, and I agree, a wonderful value.

  An unusual find from thewinetobuy.com is this White Chinon. A 100% Chenin Blanc displaying a delicious pear aroma followed by a succulent and lightly sweet apple flavor profile. A wonderful bargain at $20. Enjoy.

  Pretty pale yellow. Honey, white flower and lemon candle on nose. Right amount of acidity: pleasant and just short of bracing. Given the delicate fruitiness it balances the experience. Good finish. Highly recommended.

  BEST BUY!
  Even better than I remembered. Very complex Chenin Blanc that has to be one of the absolute best at this price.

  Very subtle and complex aromatics. Palate of slate, and pears and peaches with hints of their stems. A finish that just stays with you.
