Les Clos Sacrés Savennières Chenin Blanc
Succulent white flower nose. Crisp, with notes of honey and lemon zest. Delicious!

Feb 24th, 2016Pretty fantastic even though it’s clearly on its last legs. Has that rich, oxidized, nutty thing going on but still tons of acid. Time to hurry up and drink the rest.

Jun 1st, 2019Dense and powerful, comparable in my experience only to Musar Blanc. Could probably use another 5+ years in the cellar.

Mar 14th, 2017Strong florals - perhaps peach/apricot blossoms, honeysuckle... Bruised Bosc pear/yellow apple. Lemon zest. Potential lees contact. Slight minerality.
