Big deep grapey nose. Tons of granite and blackberry but also red berries as well. A very evocative and encompassing nose. Some pepper, spice and herbs as well. Complex and inviting. Palate is soft and structured with an intense pepperiness. Supple and melty with gorgeous red fruits and also blackberry. Very pure and perfectly balanced with really nice tannins. Excellent wine. — 2 years ago

Lovely wine. Pale straw color. Nose of sage, seashells, salt and green fruit, maybe (maybe) lemon rind. Acidity hits right away at the top of the tongue and quickly transitions around the outside, then lingers deep into the long finish. On the palate there’s green apple and sage, seashells, sea salt, and a touch of sea foam. Green apple skin lingers. Fuller body. I can really go for oysters right now. — 3 years ago
Fantastic. A great example of French bx. Great balance. — 3 years ago
Substantially above a tasting that included more prestigious appellations and more expensive bottles, all in the same region and all in chenin blanc. Best VfM of a very enjoyable tasting. Nice balance and yet a subtle acidity leaving much to hope for latter years. Drink some, keep some. — 5 years ago

Good concentration. Jam mixed with black fruits and cherry. Sweet and spices. Good match with spicy Chinese food. Chateau Saint Jean Plan de Dieu @, , 241004 — 7 months ago
