Very good. Not as lean as I remembered savagnins being in the past. This one has fat lemon cream custard flavors, some honey with a long finish and some good tannins. The aromas are lemons, red apple flesh, toast, iodine, clear water minerals and fresh herbs like maybe dill. A bit flabbier than I’d like it to be, but I’m happy. — 4 years ago

The man (David) on the right, opened up his home and cellar to a pee-on like me. One of my fave chards was pulled for shits and giggles. If you have never tried this, please do. Uncommon notes of caramel, custard and subtle oak. The palate displays immense depth and clarity. Super weightless finish of honied almonds, kissed by white peach. Utterly sublime. — 6 years ago

From the always reliable producer. A little too young but showing strong notes of new oak, along with lemon curd, vanilla custard, citrus fruits and lemon peel — 7 years ago

Bright lemon custard, fresh herbs and lychee fruit fan out across the palate, ample rich and still quite young. This wine has many years of good drinking in front of it. — 4 years ago

2007’s are starting to come on. The usual Leflaive lemon custard, but with the leanest of the vintage. I think this Bienvenue shows better then the Batard. — 6 years ago

Quince, bruised pear, lemon oil, gardenias, brioche, custard, saline, honeysuckle, sea shells. Vibrant sharp acidity, rich medium body, compact bubbles, long floral-slightly tropical crisp finish. Terroir focused, corpulent with grace, rustic charm behind its obvious elegance. — 6 years ago

Toasty, custard, smoked pear, sugared grapefruit, green apple skin, accented by a string of minerality. This jumps out of the glass. Mouthcoating with rich, layered green apple, pear, and lime zest flavors. Asian spices pop with time. Balance is impeccable. Acid is still impressive, with length and evolution to finish. Wow! Paired with smoked salmon over a cream based pasta. — 4 years ago

Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Honey, floral and funk notes in nose initially. Crisp, dry, citrus flavors, lime peel and lemon custard, some leesy creaminess, slight skin astringency and mineral finish, citrus aftertaste. — 5 years ago

Another lovely label from Chanin with great contents @ £40 & better than the 2014 as more vibrant in aroma & flavour as-well as lovely balance 👍 Yummy 😍
