Nicolas Joly Les Vieux Clos Savennières Chenin Blanc 2014

$35.99

...pure and elegant on the herbal and flinty nose, where spicy lemon/lemon grass and ripe, concentrated fruit aromas are displayed. Very well defined!... very elegant and finesse-full. since the powerful body is lifted by a piquant acidity, a lovely transparency and finesse, and finally escorted by a dense and lush fruit texture. The finish is very precise, fresh and aromatic, but also full of elegance, salt and stimulation. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Stewed and baked apple, lovely bitterness at the end of the palate, honeycomb on the nose, rainier cherry on the nose, slate on the end of the palate. Very cool, a little tight but it feels right.

Spritzy, cider-like and somewhat unpleasant on opening, not much changed after a day re-corked in the fridge. 4 days in the fridge later, this has finally settled down and shows some ripe stone fruit and wet wool, full body, med + acid. This is nice, but a poor QPR.

Deep brown gold hue. Beautiful nose. Hint of effervescence. With a very intense mussel, caviar, olive oil, lemon dish, this is a great pairing. More of the minerality, white fruit come out. A unique wine that is very enjoyable with strong flavored seafood.
