Domaine des Baumard

Savennières Chenin Blanc 2009

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!! — 6 months ago

Clos de la Bergerie Savennières Roche aux Moines Chenin Blanc 2016

Outstanding, showing primary and tertiary 50/50, lovely yellow and white fruits, salinity, some oxygen taking hold, florals, lanolin, and excellent acidity drives this into a long, complex finish. — 9 months ago

Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2000

Drinking very well today, with the complexity of bottle age still matched by some vibrant freshness – grapefruit, citrus zest, and waxy yellow fruit; bright, snappy acids; years of life still ahead of it. — 10 years ago

Domaine Huet

Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux Vouvray Chenin Blanc 1985

What an amazing grape is Chenin Blanc. We had a delicious dry version from WA earlier in the week and now this gorgeous 39 year old Vouvray from the Loire Valley in half bottle. Not really sweet enough to be called a dessert style - spatlese at best. Mid to pale gold. Toasty notes with pear and mouldy apple. On the palate incredibly fresh and vibrant for its age. Notes of pineapple and a little acid to keep it going in the cellar if desired but hard to beat right now. A great accompaniment to foie gras. One of the 1001 Wines. A wonderful experience. — 9 months ago
