Vintage 2019 | I know... infanticide, but I wanted to try this Chenin Blanc because I was curious. It would be no punishment only to smell this wine... so multi-layered: lime, white peach, pear, vague impression of honey, saline, very lovely and broad. The taste has a high acidity and lots of potential. Razorsharp. Very nice wine from old vines, in transition to bio. | Paired with with asparagus, egg and ham, the classic combination. — 4 years ago

The 15' cuvee of this wine is absolutely delicious and offers much complexity for the price. Ripe red fruit core with pleasant green, herbal, and smoky notes. I think my experience with previous vintages of this wine fell in the category of unpleasant Cab Franc, so this is a much welcome change. Beautiful tension between rusticity and freshness. Yum!

Peppery, lots of minerals, crisp and oddly refreshing. Full without overpowering. — 2 years ago
Vintage 2019 | Lightfooted and frivolous Cabernet Franc. This is the type of Saumur Champagne that became very popular in bistros in Paris. Strawberry and cherrie nose. Drinks easy, yes like lemonade. | Paired with a roastbeef and backed potatoes. — 3 years ago
An unusually golden-hued Sancerre. Tons of steely minerality accents the delightfully acidic stone and citrus fruit. — 7 years ago
