Pure, fresh Chenin, a delight to drink, its white fruits and balancing acidity creating a lifted, vibrant character. Despite its obvious richness, the wine feels light, airy, fresh and with a fine taut, green fruit finish.

Nutty in style, this classic wine shows the true intensity of dry Chenin Blanc. It’s a wine with weight, concentration, toast, spice and an overpowering lemon and honey character. For long-term aging.

An impressively rich wine that wears its intensity easily. The wine is smooth, the yellow fruit flavors dominating, just edged with pepper. It is stylish, a complex series of fruit flavors, finishing with spine-tingling acidity. For aging.

Green vegetable aromas mingle with fresh kiwi and lime and a touch of pepper and salt. The wine is going through the sort of closed-up phase common with Chenin Blanc, the fruits just a hint, the texture smooth. Give it another 3–4 years, and the fruits will come together with mature almond flavors.

Described as doux (sweet), this is a wine from superripe, rather than botrytis, fruit. The flavors are of black currant jelly, spiced with cranberry and acidity. It is really an apéritif wine, its fresh character just as important as its sweetness.

A wine to taste in 10 years. Just starting out, it is rich, hinting at honey with mango and custard fruit flavors. Along with the fruit, there is some dry botrytis that gives the core of the wine a tight, dry texture. As with all great Loire sweet wines, the wonderful richness is balanced with a steely acidity.
