Fresh, crisp Chenin nose which is quite light. The palate shows lovely concentration and balance with assertive acidity. Will be lovely. Very good/excellent 91/100
Very clear and pale but showing a distinct golden hue, this excellent Loire Chenin Blanc offers luscious aromas of grapefruit, honey and hints of tangerine. It's full-bodied and richly textured, full of juicy, ripe grapefruit flavor, with natural fresh-fruit sweetness well balanced by firm, steely acidity; delicious mixed-citrus flavors linger with a haunting minerality in a very long finish; subtle complexity builds as the wine warms in the glass, but it's never muddy, always clear and vivid, a remarkable wine but so young that it's showing only a distant preview of its future promise.
