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! — 6 years ago

A beautiful nose of yellow orchard fruit, honeysuckle and a touch of sea shells and salin texture. The wine is rich, a nice roundness and slightly less crisp than the usual Droin style, but still with enough backbone and acidity to make it harmonious, balanced, classy, elegant and with a lingering delicious finish. Great bottle. Un nez magnifique sur les fruits jaunes, pêches et un petit côté chèvrefeuille et une touche de coquillage. La bouche est sur le même registre, un côté plus riche et ample que le style Droin habituel, mais non dénuée de colonne et d’acidité qui en font un ensemble harmonieux, frais, pur, équilibré et avec beaucoup de classe et une longueur impressionnante. 93 pts aisément — 6 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 — 8 years ago
