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.

Really should’ve waited to open this bottle. Bright, acidic and full of fruit. Really good. Have to buy more and hide them — 4 months ago

Incredible as usual. Black pepper, tobacco, barnyard, province herbs, lingonberries, hint of leather on the nose. Very fresh and juicy and yet complex and long. Great wine. — 10 months ago

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

"Brézé" Saumur Chenin Blanc 2015

Wonderful complex and luxurious aromas of lemon, yellow apples and oak. A bit rounded in the edges, acidity not hitting hard initially, but rather catching up after each sip. Super finish. — 8 months ago

Domaine Guiberteau

Clos de Guichaux Saumur Chenin Blanc 2010

Wild, bracing, cerebral. Every glass was a different wine. Seemingly over-mature at first, then a complete about-face by the end if the bottle. Fresh and dried fruit, honey, woolly, stony, crushed flowers, salt, tea leaves, sweet spice. — 10 months ago
