It started last year when I accidentally purchased a Mosse chenin blanc. Mosse makes many good wines but their chenin blancs are in a different universe. Honeyed pear and tropical fruit. Is there some earth? This is a big, bold, wine but smooth and complex, too. Off-dry, Granny Smith apples, and a loooong finish. Did the wine see a little skin contact because I sense some tannins? There is too much going on here to capture in one review. Off to the next Mosse chenin blanc!

Really loved this Anjou Chenin. Bit of skin contact and wild character, but so much Chenin deliciousness

Wonderfully savory. Parmesan and acetone with unripened tomatoes, and pears. Great mouthfeel.

Funky nose with hints of Jura-like oxidation, ripe pineapple, honey and orange blossom. Touch of sweetness up front and a long finish.

Wow. What a nose. What salinity. What balance. I'll dream about this wine.
