9.0

A bit blown out to me but tasty. Maybe a vintage thing or the 15.5 abv. — 18 days ago

Les Choisilles Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2021

Bright and lively. Green apple and green pear, fresh vegetable notes, chalky minerals and a hint of white peach sweetness. — a month ago

Clos du Bourg Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2013

This is the ideal personification of Vouvray. The nose is alive with green apple, pear, white flowers, lime zest, mineral and chalk. The mouthfeel is dry, focused and vibrant with sharp acidity, a crystalline texture, and layers of citrus and saline notes that linger. Great in its youth with great aging potential. — 21 days ago

Le Mont Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2002

Bruised apples, touch of honey, first hints of oxidation, dry finish.
Not very complex, but tasty all the same.
Drink now.

Rouge-Gorge Coteaux Du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2022

This was a by-the-glass favorite at the Loire property where we stayed. Biodynamic Pinot d’Aunis. Lots of wild red berries complicated by earthy, peppery and floral tones — a month ago

Jasnières Chenin Blanc 2023

Pineapple, beeswax, pear and wet stone. Rich full bodied Chenin with beautiful acidity. When it’s first opened it had a nice funk of mushroom / wet forest with a clean mineral undertone. Balanced. I want a case stack for the summer. — 3 days ago
