I. et S. Bernaudeau
Les Onglés Chenin Blanc
France
Considered to be a Burgundian expression of Chenin Blanc, perhaps why I love his wines. Vivid energy and precision showing intense minerals, stone fruits, baking spices and racy balanced acidity. Finishes with good length, lift and focus. Delicious Chenin.

The Bernadeau was engaging, juicy and on the clearer and brighter side, though still a bit of volatility peaking through. That 2013 Roises is easily the best disgorgement I’ve had from Collin.

Wrapping my head around this wine, it seemed like allowing it to breathe in a decanter for hours would be smart. Bristling acidity, reduction at first. Mercaptans and oxidation inflect the aromatics as well as on the palate. Moldy lemon. Perhaps wet rocks. Bitter, fuzzy mousiness on the finish. A touch sweet? I don’t get it. It devolved into green garlic volatility and cheese.

Something about the nose and palate presence that I always like a lot here. A bit behind the 2016 a few months ago. Apple and pear layers on the backend here and just a bit short in the finish
