A complex, rich, savory, well-aged Chenin Blanc that's a true pleasure to drink. The acidity the other commentators have mentioned has softened with bottle age, leaving a wine that's soft and full in the mouth. The underlying varietal character is unmistakable: ripe apples, wax, and an almost incense-like note lingering in the background. Both thought-provoking and delicious.

Note: I use a rating scale for which 85 represents a very good wine.
Good example of a decent Touraine. A little rich, but firm acidity. Did not open up that much for me as it did for others, although it did improve a bit through the bottle. Don't know what more time will do -- not familiar.

excellent Loire white - needs a little time in the glass, but it delivers. Very Chenin, good acidity and excellent with sole cooked in parchment, mushrooms, carrot puree and wild rice.

Really good food wine. High acid with a lean profile on the palate. Liked the style.
