In a lineup of top tier Chenin (including Rougeard, Chidaine, Yvonne, Huet, etc), this was tops. Oily texture, with great amplitude and acidity. Perfect spot in its maturity curve for enjoyment. I kept returning to it and would acquire in a heartbeat.

Book Release Wine Dinner-“The New French Wine” (The Morris, San Francisco): Medium yellow. Slight reduction, penetrating musky citrus aromas. Full bodied. High acidity, an herbal off note, and a mix of earth and dry fruit. Youthful and neither harmonious nor integrated.

Great acidity and Chenin character, although not the most harmonious vintage for this wine.

A private dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Excellent Chenin Blanc, bursting with energy, great varietal flavours, clearly still with upward potential.

A private dinner (Restaurant Rijsel, Amsterdam, NL): Magnificent Chenin, incredibly intense minerality, powerful aromatics (chamomile, camphor, white flowers and spiced honey, citrus zest); very energetic palate, firm but well integrated bitters, lemony acidity; excellent length. Captivating stuff.
