Still not worth the price but really great — 5 years ago
Drank 2/19/18. Paired with roasted chicken.
The nose of sweet stewed plums and red berries is quite expressive. Still present, but mild, well integrated tannins lend structure to cassis and earth flavors. Medium finish. This could go a few more years, but is in a sweet spot now. I dont think it will improve further, so drink now. Fully mature.

Vintage 2015 / Imagine you find a vineyard with almost 50 years old Chenin Blanc and you are able to make wine from it. Frederic Mabileau must have been thrilled. This vineyard in Saumur is 1 hectare. Minerals in smell, a lot of minerals. Also vanilla (16 months en foudre). Hints of tropical fruit, hay, enormous powerful in taste with good acidity. What a joy to taste this! — 5 years ago

Chalk and lemon dust over iris petals with lipstick and active-art eraser; a reflection of tangerine, with a glint of dried apricot a tantalizing afterthought in this pink bouquet. Round mouthfeel with prickles of lemon citrus and quince extruded past clementine braiding through its pith-webbing in a flat, ruby red grapefruit and lemon orchestration. #guegen #rosé #bourgogne #pinkstuff #pinkwine #roseallday #pinotnoir #pinotrosé — 7 years ago
Aromas of white flower with underlying honey notes. Green apple skins and Meyer lemon on the palate followed by a racy and long mineral finish. Absolutely stunning! — 9 years ago
