What to Expect

Chenin Blanc is one of the world's least-known and appreciated great white wine grapes. Originally from France's Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has spread around the globe and is used for virtually all styles of white wine, from crisp and lean to rich, round full table wines, sparkling wines, and some of the most decadent dessert wines made. Classic descriptors for the flavors of Chenin Blanc include peach, honey, lanolin, marzipan, and quince jelly though the dry style from South Africa, where the wines are known as Steen, often exhibits more tropical fruit notes that recall pineapple and guava.

Class in a glass. Highly floral with slight tones of honey, lemon, pineapple, apples, minerals and earth. The nose is crsystalline clear. The balance is extraordinary. Great concentration. Light yet weaves a nice long complex trail of fruit. Apricots, candied lemons, white peaches. It has stunning purity and is holding alot on reserve . . . but it showed brillianty. I was expecting this to be more closed. It goes on and on. I will not touch my remaining bottles for 10 years . . . I hope . . .

This was open and glorious with an amazing nose of nuts, poignant apple and pear fruit, blazing minerality and a nougat/waffle thing. Palate was bright and crisp with wonderful depth, elegance and ripe fruit. Really floats on the palate but there is powerful concentration and a sense that this has much more to say which I know it does. Long resonating finish with impressive sense of place and crunchy fruit. Brilliant wine.

Drank it with some partial Huet virgins. Well they had the moelleux '89 something but for me the ultimate expression of Huet is Sec and Demi-Sec. They were converted and this wine just showed so well. Perfect everything. (http://rockssandfruit.blogspot.com/2007/01/most-memorable-wines-of-year-pt-675.html ).
