  Rich and lemony with bright middle, good length. Very good now.

  Pale lemon, nose of peach, pear, apricot, lemon & wet stones. Decent bodyweight, touch oily and strong acidity. On the palate more peach, pear, ripe apple, apricot, lemon, lime & wet stones. Long. Very good. Intense and fresh and really well balanced. Drinking lovely but more to come in my view.

  High acidity. Lemony. Another great vintage for this bottling.

  Loire Match 2020. Entry level wines of Guiberteau Saumur, Brendan Slater West Saumur, Boudignon Anjou, Belargus Anjou. This was an attempt to find every day alternates to white burgs, which I find quite ridiculous in price point these days.
  
  Guiberteau Saumur 2020: Quite muted nose, on the reductive side with wet rocks scents followed by a rich mouthfeel, with good depth, and a limey and quinine infused bitter finish. I quite liked this medicinal and stony wine, slowly but surely building on the outstanding stony bitter finish, with the only issue being a nit of warmth which disappeared on day 2 . (13.5 deg of alc). Means this will age weel, and very good, on the rich and powerful side.
  
  Slater West Saumur 2020: a reduced nose, with poached pears and wet rocks scents mingling with petroleum notes; a rich and silky mouthfeel, good depth of flavors and as well bitter infused limey finish without heat although ticking at 14 deg alc. There is more power here in the finish, but also more rusticity than the preceding wine. Very well made wine and very recommended.
  
  Belargus, Anjou Noir. 2020 No reduction here, inviting floral and white peach scents, the mouth is very fine on its juicy white fruits and lime flavors, perfect acid sugar balance, fine silky textures, ending in a chiselled, minerally rich finish. No trace of alcohol and perfect balance, punches well above its level. Potential to age. Tie with Boudignon, in a different, less sharp style but beautifully textured and balanced.
  
  Boudignon: Airy scents of white blanched almond milk, marzipan, yellow pear, and citrus, followed by a pure, highly delineated mouthfeel, taut and lean, all lime and citrus, yet rich and perfectly balanced, extremely long and precise, staining the buds for a minute. 12.5 deg so picked early. WOTN (In a sharp style) a tie with Belargus, brilliant.

  Peu complexe mais précis, tendu et assez froid pour du chenin, quelques années de garde devrait lui être bénéfique. Très bon. 90+?
