Description
Something that sprung to mind immediately with this wine was sweet maple pecan pastries; the nose is so bright, showcasing red apple, orange and honey. The palate is dry, full-bodied, and well-rounded. In this cooler vintage, its undeniable appeal lies in its refreshing acidity and the distinctive tension of its phenolics. Delicious!

Andy Howard MW 17/20
Concentrated, complex and long. A white Saumur which has freshness combined with power and richness on the palate, yet still very direct and with a fine, rapier-like thread of acidity. GV going by the price of the 2023. AWH) 12.5%

Only the second vintage from this new, young producer, this easy and fresh, citrussy Chenin is as bright as a button, with a featherlight finesse that is impressive in the warm 2022 vintage. Graceful and stylish, with a silky texture, it finishes with a lightly salty, grapefruit and clementine tang. Highly drinkable and wholly enjoyable short- to mid-term drinking.
