First glass was toeing the line with VA then it settled down nicely. bone dry, high acid, extreme minerality with typical complex chenin markers: lime, apples, honey. Really delicious but this needs an hour or two of aeration minimum. These wines take forever in the cellar. 2018 just entering drinkability. Aside: The tasting notes on this wine are full of trendy NYC somms drinking this on release and giving it middling scores 😬 — a month ago

Absolutely ripping acid. Intense wine, Plenty of stuffing. Well cellared. Fruit is evolved but no risk of going anywhere, with acid like this it’ll probably live forever. — 4 months ago

Vintage 2019 | I know... infanticide, but I wanted to try this Chenin Blanc because I was curious. It would be no punishment only to smell this wine... so multi-layered: lime, white peach, pear, vague impression of honey, saline, very lovely and broad. The taste has a high acidity and lots of potential. Razorsharp. Very nice wine from old vines, in transition to bio. | Paired with with asparagus, egg and ham, the classic combination. — 5 years ago

Aged 50% in stainless steel and 50% in old Burgundian barrels. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and herb notes. On the palate flavors of green apple, pear and lime citrus with notes of pepper and herb spice. Medium+ finish, chalky, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice! — 2 years ago

Bright, clean , drinks youthful. No pyrazines to speak of. Maybe in a slightly dumb/closed phase. Will revisit tomorrow. Edit/ day two, now it’s expressive. Pyrazines coming through. This is a delicate wine. Versatile with food. Excellent purity.  — 4 months ago

Arguably the best chenin I’ve ever had! Good minerality and acidity - with citrus and pear but not the typical “apples all ways” so typical of the varietal. — 6 months ago

Wow! The nose comes straight at you, makes you instantly salivate with the crushed rock intensity of a GG Riesling. You know it’s an electric l wine before you ever taste it. On the palate it delivers, with more crushed rock and a hint of lemon. Impossible to believe it’s 14% alcohol. It’s gonna take a decade to soften it up and probably will be great at 20yrs+. A big name in the making. — 4 years ago

Takes a little while to open up but blossoms beautifully with bruised dark berry fruit, forrest floor, unwashed beetroot, rich stony soils d damp geraniums.
Palate has a wonderful freshness to it without being too light weight or lacking in fruit concentration. Black berry fruit is riper than you’d think from the nose and there’s a lovely stony minerality on the mid palate and finish that also shows an attractive sappidity, fine tannins, ripe acidity gives it drive.
Very finely tuned cab franc. — 5 years ago
