Taste of currant and extremely fruity and full bodied. Going to age well — 4 years ago
BAMF. Incredible amber color, rippling acidity, depth and length, steeped tea, Georgian influence in the Loire. — 6 years ago

Domaine de la Désoucherie 2010 Cuvee Soléa Christian & Fabien Tessier / an unusual ' moelleux ' from that curious grape Romorantin. Excellent balance, seems a shy bouquet with honey, a lot of refinement. Will become more and more interesting over the years, while it is exquisite now! A wine with tension. And pleasant bitterness at the end. #romorantin #moelleux #courcheverny #loveit #loire — 8 years ago
Bone dry flinty minerality...great with food. — 8 years ago
Tastes like strolling along a river bank on a sunny fall day with a slight chill in the air.
Unripe green apple, white grapefruit, white peach, white nectarine, lemon and tangerine oil, lime blossom... and SO MUCH minerality. This is textbook wet stone, cool slate, and sea-breeze salinity. Lean and precise, with laser-cut acidity; not austere, but it might be if it didn’t have such an unexpectedly lush mouthfeel.
If I didn’t know this was Chenin, I might blind it as an Aligoté or a Romorantin. I’d love to try this again in 3 years or so! — 3 years ago

Never tried this grape before. Merits more drinking. — 6 years ago
Sometimes I have to force myself to buy a white that isn't Loire Valley Chenin ( but without actually leaving the Loire Valley, because that would be crazy.) This Cour-Cheverny made me glad I did. I've only had Romorantin a few times prior, but I loved the tart acidity balanced by a great saline minerality. — 7 years ago

Very interesting wine! I don’t know that I’ve had this grape before. The minerality is really wild and reminds of some steely Burg — 4 years ago

Medium gold; very aromatic with stone fruit and apple (almost riesling); acid driven and relatively hot (13.5%) with light bitterness; very refreshing, and a bargain! Really faded day 2 — 7 years ago

Lemon zest, white flowers, pineapple, and an intriguing pine cone undertone. Fresh acidity just barely rounded off at the corners. Light-bodied and refreshing. — 8 years ago

Nice wine to finish the evening with a crème brûlée. Not too sweet. Apricot, honey with some crispness. — 2 years ago
