Loire night: Some wooliness on this and muddled green fruit. Someone mentioned that this might have seen some heat damage but I thought that this was down to bottle variation due to non-interventionist winemaking. Not the biggest fan of this.

This wine shows the 2013 Loire ripeness on the nose and palate. Orchard fruit notes and a lushness not usually associated with Chenin blanc. It's not overdone and well balanced by acid and mineral notes.

Excellent little value. 2013 is my favorite recent vintage for these.

At Gramercy Tavern w/ Victor T, tasting of whites w/appetizers organized by the somm. interesting Chenin Blanc from the Loire
Medium/light straw color. Nose was interesting balance of citrus, floral notes (acacia?) lees. Bright palate of citrus, quince, lees, honey, pears. Smooth and "polished" wine...very nice

Un chenin sur un sol très ferreux. Très sec, avec une belle persistance. J'ai bien aimé
