This remains one of the greatest white dry wines of France although probably not for everybody. Every year is a surprise and that inconsistency can be off-putting. Golden color, medium weight, quite high in alcohol (14.5) and cloudy. Long burn, apricot, dried raisins, apple and pineapple. — 2 months ago

This wine is everything I love about chenin blanc. Spice, cola, floral honey in the nostrils. A honey velvet texture a lingering aftertaste, perfect refreshing acid balance. Damn good wine. — 2 years ago
Stone fruit and slate with a touch of grapefruit. Brighter than many French Sauvignon Blancs; very tasty! — 3 years ago

Truly unique. Classic chenin flavors. But very singular and focused. Nutty, grassy, apple. Very very good. — 10 months ago
Right up my alley! Not complex or very long, but one hundred percent joy. From about one ha vineyard, raised in old barrels. Nothing added. Wild fruit bomb containing lots of black currant, blackberries, grass and bell pepper. Medium tannins, astringent and coarse texture. — 3 years ago
Loved it, both you and Liz. Pear and honey, acid, floral. Pretty great. I think you love rousanne. — 3 years ago

At first it reminded me of a Normandy craft cider. Then I poured some in my glass and the colour struck me. It's orangey and clearly turbid. Not your casual chardonnay Sunday evening pour. The nose is verrrryyy complex, pear, apple, honey, elderflower, white pepper, some slight apricot touch and some yeasty notes too (?). The palate is great too, good acid drive, pear and apple, honey, good width, soft mouthfeel that turns into a tannic wall in the rear that caresses the tongue before powering a multi-layered finish with honey, apricot, apple, pear, a savoury, salty touch. Wow this is wild. It's absolutely not the same wine nor the same tastes and varietals but this reminds to some extent of Joly's wines from la Coulée de Serrant. Extremist in the approach somehow. These guys will die on that hill with their ideas. — 8 days ago
