Really nice youthful Chenin Blanc. There's honey, but it's light and inviting with plenty of flint and minerality backing it up. Warm lemons, ginseng, fresh ginger, sweet smelling flowers, peach skin and smoke. Little salinity and finishes on the drier side of Chenin but certainly has its iconic acid. Would pair along side mussels baked with cream and garlic.

Vibrant with a ways to go. Everything you would expect in a Saumur Chenin.

Taking out the recycling means logging all the wine you hadn't yet.

Pleasant enough with good acid but barely any varietal flavor. Would be good to wash down moules et frites.

Ripe, almost canned apricots & and peach fuzz. Wet rocks, white flowers, & wet grass. Enough acid, & balanced well. Somewhat one dimensional, but tasty, & with plenty of length to the finish.
