Le Mont Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2010

9.2

I tasted this same 2010 about a year ago and wondered it would improve with further aging. I think the answer is yes.

This time around it shows more layered profile, with bruised apple, honeysuckle, beeswax, citrus peel, and wet stone leading the nose. The palate is broad and textured. Acidity has shaved off some hard edges, yet remains focus and intense. Engaging long finish.

Jasnières Chenin Blanc 2023

Pineapple, beeswax, pear and wet stone. Rich full bodied Chenin with beautiful acidity. When it’s first opened it had a nice funk of mushroom / wet forest with a clean mineral undertone. Balanced. I want a case stack for the summer. — 5 months ago

It glitches out occasionally. Thought it was down for good after an 18 hour freeze-up a few days ago. But when it’s working I like it fine.

Rouge-Gorge Coteaux Du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2022

This was a by-the-glass favorite at the Loire property where we stayed. Biodynamic Pinot d’Aunis. Lots of wild red berries complicated by earthy, peppery and floral tones — 7 months ago

La Baronnie Madeleine Chinon Cabernet Franc 2015

Vintage 2015 | Italian rooftiles coloured rim, spicy smell and nicely developed velvety taste. Chinon that is aged can be só comforting. Cab franc shines. Paired with a simple but good spaghetti meatballs tomatosauce. It makes my day. — 9 months ago

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2019

Wow. A richer, darker, and more concentrated Picasses than I’ve had in some time. Oak is also a bit more gratuitous than I’m used to for this wine. Blackberries, currant, moss, anise. This can go the distance, but definitely a bit hot. Still one of my favorite wines in the world for consistent quality to price ratio and age-ability. — 2 months ago
