Nose: lovely swee t cherries. Cherry lipstick. As this opens penetrating lilacs.
Palate : perfect mid season cherries. Very bright. Great balance. Terrific palate vivacity.
Let’s see where this goes..
MUCH better with air. Nose is more complex. Palate is amazing. Great precision.
Better in 2025. — a year ago

LoireTasting #1 - chenin serie
Typically the lively and charming Chenin that we like to taste in the Loire: White fruits, pear, green apple, rifle stone, smoked. Dry and tonic. Final on the rather long acidity. Purity of wines with little interventionist. Nice precision. Ideal companion of goat cheeses from the region, among others..
Typiquement le Chenin vif et charmant qu’on aime goûter en Loire: Fruits blancs, poire, pomme vert, Pierre à fusil, fumé. Sec et tonique. Finale sur l’acidité assez longue. Pureté des vins peu interventionnistes. Belle précision. Compagnon idéal des fromages de chèvres de la région, entre autres.. longueur remarquable sur la fraîcheur minérale. — 2 years ago
Killer. White Burg clone. Puligny. Nose is all iodine, smoke and minerals. Also a hint of butter but so integrated and faint but it’s there and adds so much. It goes between Chablis and Puligny. Palate has so much tension and grip. Nervy and focused. So linear and all minerals and a hint of green apple fruit and wow the finish. Like a laser. Wonderful. Nose gets confectionary after some air and complexity starts building. This is so elite. So concentrated with noble structure. This is so mineral. 97% mineral and 3% fruit. — a year ago

Golden yellow color, topaz shade. Beautiful clarity and significant viscosity.
Discreet nose at first glance. Allowed to breathe, the second nose opens up with aromas of dried fruits (apricots, grapes, oranges and peaches).
The attack is supple, structured and tangy.
The palate is spherical, rounded with the impression of biting into a ripe tangerine, then melon and acacia honey complete the aromatic palette during the evolution in the mouth.
Elegant finish with a retro olfaction of fruit paste.
With a lamb tagine with apricots. Or on a caramelized apricot with Etivaz honey, vanilla ice cream. Or on a duck foie gras cooked in a cloth. — a year ago

17+. With 14 years of age, Chasselas is a serious grape. A lot of complexity, good balance and length. — 8 months ago
