This has continued to age effortlessly, effectively “dry” Chenin Blanc, finished in screwcap, at age 17, neither the color, aromatics or palate impression suggest anything older than 7-10 years, should continue to age well!!

Arguably the best chenin I’ve ever had! Good minerality and acidity - with citrus and pear but not the typical “apples all ways” so typical of the varietal. — 5 months ago

Amazing freshness with the 20+ age, spicy nose, pure minerality.
Hints of beeswax, shy quince, salty rocks, the purity here is just insane.
On the palate this hits with brilliant acidity (not far from Fino!), paired with spicy minerality and barely a hint of apples sprinkled with fleur de sel. Great depth and amazing electric tension.
This is brilliant! I am blown away. Wowza! — 5 months ago

Beautiful Loire Cabernet Franc, just a touch of green in the fruit, but with that cool climate feel, long finish, terrific wine, thanks to Eric Texier for telling us (my wine group) that Lenoir was making great Cab Franc!! — 7 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2024 “Les Monts Damés” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white flowers, grapefruit, star fruit, alfalfa, and cream cheese stuffed poblano pepper. There’s also this Double Bubble thing going on. Wild stuff. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. In a world of increasing ambiguity, I love that this is immediately identifiable as Sancerre. Drink now through 2034+. — 3 months ago
