nose - floral hints suggesting a wine of elegance to come mouth - rirproaring acidity defines this wine. crisp, very clean, and perhaps a touch out of balance. Light hints of pear somewhere in there... Lacks the depth of flavor of the 2008 Julient Fouet Saumur, which was tasted side by side. Recommende for food.

An interesting wine with hints of smoke, roasted apples, and a bit of hickory. On the palate flavors of lime, apples, and star fruit linger nicely. Should continue to drink well in the short term.

Effusive nose of baked apple and that characteristic Chenin waxiness. Very firm acidity and certainly a bone dry wine, but the flavors lent it a certain sweetness in the mouth. That and the medium bodied style balanced the acid out nicely and helped the wine into a long finish. Not a complex bottle by any means, but very satisfying for $10.

I noted honey and mango as the flavors. Fairly long finish with citrus.
