Les Bonnes Blanches Anjou Chenin Blanc 2015

Vintage 2015 / vieilles vignes vines from #cheninblanc on schist. Amazing smell. Pear, apricot, tropical fruit. And green spices: coriander, hint of parsley. Also an impression of honey. Good acidity. Well balanced. Good effort of Agnès and René Mosse. From #anjou but #vindefrance. Partnered it with red gurnard and a tomatosauce, then with cheeses. — 8 years ago

Les Bonnes Blanches Anjou Chenin Blanc 2013

Vintage 2015 - Bonnes Blanches is the 'lieu dit' where the vines grow. 50 years old. Grown on 'schist'. Way too young now but very promising. #anjou #cheninblanc — 9 years ago

Château Pierre-Bise

Clos de la Soucherie Coteaux du Layon-Beaulieu Chenin Blanc 2001

A mildly amber colour that makes me think of shrivelled grapes covered in mold. Too ethereal (light) to be a sweet wine, therefore I'd have it as an aperitif too. Apricots and honey and orange marmalade and walnuts and marzipan, tangy aftertaste. Not a cultural milestone like a Sauternes or a Tokaji but excellent in its own league. #cheninlikeadiamond #cheninblanc #loire #botrytis #sweetwine #noblerot #anjou #saumur #beaulieu — 10 years ago

Here is living proof that a great bottle #Chenin blanc is a distinct possibility...young #Patrick #Baudouín creates beautiful mineral specimens from soils composed of what used to the ocean...compressed shells and limestone make for a mineral-driven profile that made my #Thanksgiving dinner a whole lot better! #PatrickBaudouín #Anjou #Loire — 11 years ago

Anjou Chenin Blanc 2016

Vintage 2016 / #cheninblanc has a lot of faces. This #Anjou is attractive because of its juiciness with shy honey impression. I paired it with spaghetti vongole. Not the first combination to think of - but hey... Anjou Blanc is a wine that’s lovely to combine with all kind of food. — 8 years ago

I left a quarter bottle with a Pulltex oxidation stop in the fridge. Now, a week further the wine gained richness. A beautiful butterscotch smell and impeccable balance. Great effort this wine!

This is one crazy tangy, mineral wine! It tastes like salted mango and ripe pear drizzled with lemon juice. Incredible texture. I can only imagine what this will be like in 5-10+ years #cheninblanc #loire #anjou — 10 years ago

Soft and pillowy mouth. Just a touch of lactic in the background. Vanilla bean, brioche, brûléed nectarine.

Château Pierre-Bise

Clos de la Soucherie Coteaux du Layon-Beaulieu Chenin Blanc 2005

A version 4 years younger that is pure fruit, delicate as the 2001 but maybe less developed, less complex. Nothing wrong with that, though 😸. Apparently the winemaker, Monsieur Papin, is called "the poet of Chenin Blanc" by the revered Andrew Jefford and if he said so my only aim is to look for more Papins to corroborate through a field research. Excellent! #cheninblanc #loire #botrytis #sweetwine #noblerot #anjou #saumur #beaulieu — 10 years ago
