More complex and with more depth than the other Bertin Chenin we tried. Nice!

Gold speckled pale yellow hue with an intoxicatingly cerebral nose recalling shaved eraser and marzipan, with whiffs of white pepper, the stem of fennel and hints of thyme or garrigue. On the palate the nose melts into a wet hay ride eating bruised caramel apples that don't taste in the slightest sweet, but the peculiar smell of rubber and apple pie linger in the distance. Retronasal. A gorgeous chenin blanc with an effortless flair beyond its value. Delicately layered and nuanced. Enduring acidity. Medium long finish.

Totally fine, but there are better chenin blancs out there.

Chenin with no sulphur! Fruit forward, with spice, but not the weight I usually associate with Chenin blanc.

Nicolas Bertin and Genevieve Delatte's 85 year old Chenin vines planted in the vineyard of "Les Noels," Rablay-sur-Layon. Hence the cuvee name, planted in 1929. Potent juice, beautiful fruit, slightly oxidative in a good way, aged in old barrel.
