Wine & Spirits: This chenin’s broad flavors of quince paste have a fresh lanolin note. It’s bold and juicy, with sweetness cut by slightly starchy acidity, the wine’s youthful tension needing bottle age to mellow. (4/2016) Wine...

Tasting Notes: This wine is comes from a clay and sediment rich topsoil set on the pure white limestone bedrock on one of Saumur-Champigny’s coolest microclimates, St.-Cyr. The wine matches clearly its terroir with an immediately full mouthfeel...
