Strangely, this wine has not changed that much. Wet stones, lime juice, grass, basil (someone said, I am obligated to repeat), brioche and a charming marzipan touch. And while its bouquet is less pompous than the one of Pineau de Loire 2021, it has a better-structured palate. Round with flavours of honey, brioche, wet stones and melon. Good acidity, but could be higher.
Beautiful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Thanks to spending 8 months in old oak and on lees, it gained attractive notes. Oil, brioche, cream, lemon juice, marzipan and pear. It is much more powerful than I expected, but it is still so fresh and juicy, so easy going, so delicious! Long aftertaste, with flavours of brioche and lemon. Great.
