All the richness and texture of the Chenin Blanc shows beautifully in the wine, but restrained and shaped by clean wine-making, and a cool climate. The wine is both elegant and powerful, with great acidity and texture, full, honeyed melon fruit, and clean, floral aromas. Delightful now, it will undoubtedly age beautifully as well.Lucien Crochet Sancerre Le Chene Marchand

Clearly a cut above almost any Sancerre I've drunk recently. Moderately intense aromas of lime and oyster liquor, with a whisper of stone fruit. Dry, with elevated crisp acidity, medium-bodied, Moderate intensity of citrus fruit and salinity, energetic, perfectly proportioned, elegant caillottes (elegance) instead of rich terres blanches. I've waited a year and a half to put this on the shelf. Love it. Worth the upgrade!Domaine du Clos Naudin (Foreau) Vouvray Demi-sec
