FRANCE : LOIRE : SAUMUR Chenin Blanc  MED-FULL BODIED, STONE FRUIT, CITRUS, FLORAL, CREAMY, OAK Citrus, white peach, a hint of lanolin, and a mineral streak work magic in this lovely, focused Chenin Blanc.

Exotic citrus, green, a little wooly, medium body and acidity. Good dry Chenin, showing more on the citrus and herbal spectrum now. Impressive concentration. This started a bit simple, and the open bottle was left in the fridge while I traveled for 3 weeks, and when I returned it was singing! 9.1->9.3

Damp earth, chesnut, witch hazel, spring flowers, spring greens, crisp pear, lemon peel, quinche, salted ham, flint, green tea. A riot of acid and waxy chenin richness, impeccable balance. First time getting this wine in the glass with some bottle age

Lovely pure nose, almonds, smells the acid, pear, ripe but also hugely mineral, juicy, high acid and refined. Salty and very complex finish. Huge huge acid.

Nose is sort of a tropical fruit compote. Pungent but elegant. Palate is delicious ripe fruit. Wow. Would not guess Loire. Almost hubackery. Juicy. So succulent. Sleek lovely sexy texture. As this opens you get that cheniny ness. Not sure if this vintage is at all representative. Huge juiciness on the finish. Bought from fass selections.

Restaurant purchase at FIG in Charleston. Incredible depth and richness while still remaining light and zippy.
