Classic Chenin from a top producer. Lemon, bruised apple, wet wool, it's a bit drier than a typical Vouvray but that's Foreau's style. Still has softer edges than a Savennieres.

A little too linear for me. I like Chenin with a little bit more fruit and roundness. Acid overload

Aged amazing well. Created a beautifully full mouth feel and the balance of acidity and RS is perfect.
