WineSaint
Rich and textural with impressive mineral drive from Brézé's limestone soils. Honey, quince and hazelnut unfold with savory undertones, while vibrant acidity cuts through the wine's substantial weight. The oak feels integrated rather than imposed, lending structure without masking the Chenin's inherent character. Still tightening up. Give it until 2025 to fully blossom. Drink 2025-2030.
