Wine & Spirits, 91 Points
"Most of the grapes for this chenin come from the 15-acre Clos Saint-Yves vineyard, between the Clos du Papillon and La Roche Aux Moines. Fresh and savory, this wine has a saline finish with lemon thyme scents that—next to some crab legs— would brighten up an overcast day."
James Suckling, 91 Points
"Intriguing aromas of orange peel, nutmeg, gunpowder and lemon pith. Medium-bodied with silky texture and a crisp, long finish. Fresh, elegant and supple. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
Wine Spectator, 90 Points
"This balanced white is clean and pure, with a refreshing profile, but also shows depth, with flavors of apple and peach, as well as hints of lanolin that linger on the minerally finish, bringing you back for another sip."
Winemaker Notes:
"An intense dry wine, with structure and complexity. The white fruits and minerality come through this structured body, yet have an appealing roundness that becomes more apparent with air and time."
Alcohol: 13%
