  Honey and musk on the nose, bright acidity, floral, honey, and tropical fruit notes on the palate. Off dry, full body. A bit of that Chenin wet wool. First-rate example of Chenin all around, and a good value.

  light golden color. looks weighty. nose savory with some ginger, honey, woody spice, and nail polish. rich, medium bodied palate with a healthy blast of back end acidity. flavors of honey, ripe yellow apple, lemon, and abundant limestone. medium length finish. some residual sugar. notable for being so fat. should age well.

  Very aromatic wine with loads of fruit like quince, passion fruit and yellow fruit. Also a hint of toast. The palate is in a nice sweet style, with apricot and yellow fruit. It also has a different botle than most Loire wines, which shows me that it is a very different style of the Chenin Blanc grape. Also grown on sandy soils with some gravel as well. Very lovely!

  Deuxième expérience avec un vin d'Éric Nicolas et pour la deuxieme fois le vin comble mes attentes
  
  Carafer le vin et le servir vers 10-12 degré si possible il dévoilera sont potentiel
  
  Un chenin expressif aux aromes de fruits jaune , Prunes, poires et de pomme cuites et épices douces
  
  en bouche belle texture huileuse mieleux , amertume en final et une aciditié bien balancé excellent j'adore ce cepage et Eric Nicolas lui fait honneur
  
  J'achète Oui!
