  • This is really exceptional, and only $24. Straw with a slightly greenish hue. On the nose, high-toned yellow fruits, greengage plum, citrus. Fantastic satiny mouthfeel, touch of bitter almond up front, then tart richly flavored fruit fading to a long mineral finish. Reminds me of Huet Sous le Puit or Haut Lieu, but not at all sweet, whereas Huet has drifted towards a sweeter style. Highly recommended!

  • Follow on from their excellent CF Rosé and the top red Pierre de Tuf to discover this 100% Chenin Blanc (CB). Like the other wines it comes from chalky subsoil topped by some limestone.
    Colour: light gold, bright, clear.
    Nose: full, fresh, clearly CB peardrop notes, ripe,
    Taste: light body, taut, hot (13.5% ABV), good CB peardrop notes, marked acidity, very dry, almost chalky flavours, med finish, v dry, chalky, moderate CB notes. Lacks roundness to balance the dry acidity. Fruit a bit meagre.
    Definitely needs food to balance the austere nature of the wine. Nevertheless an interesting dry interpretation of CB, similar to Chablis cf. to Puligny, here Chinon to Vouvray.

  • Bought a few bottles at the local store in Chinon and was very pleased with this wine for only 12 Euros.
