Château De Sonnay
Domaine Fabrice Gasnier
Le coteau de Sonnay Chinon Chenin Blanc 2017
Not a fan of most Chinons Blanc, as they often start life lean and mean, then go absolutely nowhere. This, however, is that rare exception: already tender and alluring, showing acacia, melon, honeysuckle and wet gravel, with an unctuous texture and a fair dash of residual sugar (albeit perfectly balanced by massive acids). Fabulous. — 7 years ago
Have you had any of the domaine's other wines? I see them at Moore Bros, where I get a discount. They're already very underpriced.
Have followed all of Gasnier’s wines for a few years. They are- after a couple of difficult vintages in the early teens- uniformly superb.
Great to hear. I will start to do so as well
