Les Vieux Clos Savennières Chenin Blanc 2022

2022. Our sommelier knew that we have enjoyed several different Chenin Blanc wines with the food at The Oven and poured me a taste of this wine from an opened bottle. Beautiful aromas of apple/apple cider/blossoms. High acidity and medium body. — 18 hours ago

Clos du Murger Meursault Chardonnay 2015

This half bottle showed more advanced than the one I had a year ago. Oxidation notes are starting to emerge. Still quite enjoyable though, medium to fullbodied palate, oozing hot buttered popcorn, nectarine and mandarin. Hints of baked apples, honeyed hazelnuts and brown spices on the nose. — 15 days ago

Edelzwicker Alsace White Blend

Enjoyed the 2020 a bit more. Solid wine but sweeter (just a touch so) than expected. Needs a bit more zip. The 2020 being a bit better makes me wonder if I should have kept the 2022 a little longer before opening — 9 months ago

Cent-Vignes Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

Oh my. This was the most purest drinking burgundy I have had in a very long time. This felt like the most beautiful wine that was running down my throat. My friend and I were absolutely in awe at the red fruits the freshness of the red cherries. No wonder it’s a premier cru. Amazing. Can’t wait to get another one — 3 months ago

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc 2019

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2019 pours a pale yellow color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with intense, ripe notes of Comice pears, baked green apple, mixed fruit cup, lemons, white tree flowers, lanolin, raw almond, tarragon, a touch of raw honey and minerals. On the palate, the wine is off-dry(?) with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is waxy. I questioned the off-dry call because I actually think it’s dry but the power and ripeness of the fruit, not to mention the 15% ABV(!!), give the impression of sweetness. An utterly balanced wine despite the big personality. A wine that gives main character energy. I wish I had a week or more to track the development because this is such a wee babe. Drink now to experience its youth and enjoy through 2049. — 9 months ago

I can completely relate to your tasting note about the mouthfeel being reminiscent of that of an off-dry wine. I had the same impression when tasting a 2013 a few years back. It was clearly a dry wine but with the touch of a sweet nectar.
