Tasting notes

This is a young and drinkable chening blanc which shows a lot of interests and drinks fairly well now. Yellow colour. Nose shows wool, nettle, a touch of honey. Good body in the mouth. Full and dry. Quite open style for such a young chenin blanc. Still quite a lean and leafy style in a positive way. Some salty minerality. A little complex and nice fruit. Good acidity, but milder than those from Savennieres. Medium length. Give it another 3-5 years in the cellar.
