Le Mont Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2010

9.1

On the nose the fruits have taken a back seat to honey, dried hay, lightly roasted nut, and flinty minerals. The palate is intense and viscous with complex tastes of bruised apple, apricot, lime, honeysuckle, and honey. Sharp acidity is a bit aggressive at times, but countered by hint of sweetness. Saline long finish.
Very good, but a bit below my expectation. Not sure it will continue to improve after 14 years.

Clos du Bourg Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2021

More complexity bang-for-the-buck than any white I’ve recently had. Fresh balance of floral and chalk with hints of white and melony fruit seeping through the immediate acidity. 3-4 years will pay off huge though at this price hard to resist. — a month ago

Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2009

This shows some nutty aromas and flavors over a still vibrant mineral core, solid acidity, medium-long finish, mature but still quite nice!! — 2 days ago

Silex Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Light golden in color.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing limes, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, light earth, minerals and black pepper.

Spicy finish with bitter almonds.

This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc From the Loire Valley in France. Rich and elegant. Much more buttery than I expected it to be.

Still young and needs at least 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. I had the 2014 not too long ago, and it was even better.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Good by itself or with food.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$200.

Surprisingly good SB apparently with a bit of Chardonnay for its age. Thought might be over the hill but it’s lively and acidic with mineral notes with hints of spice and stood up to and played well with dark sourced pork! — a month ago

Pur Sang Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Most delicious of the lineup. It really clicked for me, makes me understand how low toast oak can jive with a restrained, pristine sauv blanc character that’s the house signature. Enough air coaxes out apple and a hint of ginger, but it’s that equilibrium between fruit, oak, lees and structure that strikes the match — a month ago

Love old Vouvray! Put this in your cellar and enjoy it after aging if you can resist drinking it. — a month ago
