Foreau - Domaine du Clos Naudin

Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc 2019

Beautiful grassy nose, with hints of pineapple, lemon pledge, and crushed limestone. Beautiful hay color, slightly oily, mouth coating texture on a medium body. Palate is silky, with notes of lemon, bright pineapple, and creamy citrus, with notes of vanilla and slight fresh cut hay on the finish. — a month ago

Les Grézeaux Chinon Cabernet Franc 2021

Day 2 transformation. Pure gravel dust on the nose. Much more suave mouth feel. Mineralality. Raspberry. Dark fruits, and a little bret. Light to medium body. Cellar temp it’s really nice. — 2 months ago

Trinch Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2021

Textbook #loirevalley #cabernetfranc, this one from #touraine ; It was late in the evening after happy hour so notes are a bit more approximate than usual. 😜 Pyrazines active, green pepper notes, shy black/purple fruit, soft tannins and a vegetal earthiness on the palate. It could have been served cooler by the bar but nice night cap nonetheless. — 3 months ago

Domaine du Closel-Château des Vaults

La Jalousie Savennières Chenin Blanc 2020

Quite stony on the nose , green apple , wet wool. On the palate fills out well with more green fruits , apple , pear and quince with a creamy , slightly waxy character to go with the flinty , saline and stony notes . Good balanced acidity and decent , honey tinged finish . Enjoyable now though will age well over the next 10 -15 years or so . — 3 months ago

Moulin Touchais

Coteaux du Layon Chenin Blanc 1985

My favorite wine. Flavors echoed the apple cider poached pears.

Earthy (wet/ozone post thunderstorm forest floor, button mushroom), burnt caramel, baked pear and apple, sage, agave, wild acid.
