Château Pierre-Bise
Clos de la Soucherie Coteaux du Layon-Beaulieu Chenin Blanc 2001
A mildly amber colour that makes me think of shrivelled grapes covered in mold. Too ethereal (light) to be a sweet wine, therefore I'd have it as an aperitif too. Apricots and honey and orange marmalade and walnuts and marzipan, tangy aftertaste. Not a cultural milestone like a Sauternes or a Tokaji but excellent in its own league. #cheninlikeadiamond #cheninblanc #loire #botrytis #sweetwine #noblerot #anjou #saumur #beaulieu — 8 years ago
Domaine Bernard Baudry
Chinon Blanc Chenin Blanc 2014
Chinon Chenin. A very complete wine. As delicious as it is rare. I invite you to share another bottle with me in a couple years. — 9 years ago
I'll take you up on that offer. This with good fresh Thai food (does it exist in Berkeley?) would be beautiful.
It proved quite nice with Annie's mac'n'cheese infused with ramp butter and fresh garden herbs! #Baudacious
