A funky and crazy mineral/earth laden wine. Needed air. Bruised apple/pear, quince, wooly lanolin funk, smokey rocks, mushrooms, saffron, some sherry-like notes on the nose and palate. There's a lovey honeyed element to the wine that balances the tea leaf notes Chenin can have. Crunchy with terroir out the ass. A cerebral Chenin every time.

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

Funky nose of bree cheese, saffron, brett, mushrooms, yeast, quince, chalky minerals, and lemon. Salty citrus on the palate, lemon, tart peach, white pepper, granite, and gunpowder. Low alcohol, high mineral notes, and medium plus to high acid. Would match well with soft and fragrant cheeses as well as shellfish.
