What a night with pascaline Lepeltier, who after 50 years in wine teaches me a whole new spectrum. Absolutely wonderful. — 2 months ago

Honeysuckle, apricot marmalade, persimmon.

Silken. Super balanced. Bought two. One to drink tonight and one to drink down the line.

Tropical fruits, balanced acidity, melts on the palate like a pad of butter made of wildflowers and honey. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2018 “Brézé” pours a light straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing…maybe even youthful with notes of mostly tart orchard fruit: apple, pear, white flowers, lemon curd and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with saline minerals that dazzle. Technically brilliant, I get the sense this needs time before it has more to share. Better after 2028 and drink through 2040+?

Aged 50% in stainless steel and 50% in old Burgundian barrels. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and herb notes. On the palate flavors of green apple, pear and lime citrus with notes of pepper and herb spice. Medium+ finish, chalky, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice! — 6 months ago

Plus moelleux que liquoreux. Des arômes et saveurs de fruits exotiques, ananas, touche de métal. Moyennement sucré, agréable. — 2 months ago

Delightful yet more oily, less acidic than I recall. — 3 months ago

Very clean, pure profile with a nice creamy texture by the semillon and acidity in balance. Not super expressive for the pedigree, maybe needs time — 3 months ago

Crisp, super clean and refreshing, dry Chenin Blanc, looks and tastes like a 5-year-old Loire, relatively rich as well, this is (I think?) Baumard’s entry-level Savennieres, and this vintage is quite outstanding!! — 7 months ago

Beautiful dry Vouvray Chenin Blanc, color suggests it’s fully mature, though I think it will still improve, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 2 months ago

The difference 40 years makes is maybe just a thin wooly blanket.

Pull it back and this thing's full of life - bright, vibrant, gas in the tank.

It’s brighter yellow than tired gold. Theres more fruit than decay. Sour apricots and yellow canned peaches, white popcorn and greasy bacon, and that foggy musk.

Acid rips through and does not give. Barely sweet with the demi-sec tag thats written right there but I'm not buying it.

Tonight this is 40 years old, just gettin' goin, just like me. — 3 months ago

See note from 2015 - this had more pronounced citrus & white flowers on the nose, still oily & viscous, some herbal on palate, citrus pith, tropical fruit, vaguely Condrieu-esque, fascinating wine, lovely expression of Chenin. Has stuffing for another 5 yrs. Sec Tendre — 4 months ago

A bit macerated comes off as sweet, but the markers for textbook chenin are clear. — 6 months ago
