I definitely don’t taste enough Chenin Blanc, certainly not enough to nail a dry one in a blind tasting. I thought this was Chablis, mainly because my nose picked up crushed sea shells, and my brain was trying to prove that it in fact was Chablis. On the nose, youthful, medium intensity, very earth aroma, big time sea shell, some blue cheese, apple pear, lime, honeysuckle, lilac, certain minerality, with judicious oak if any. On the palate, dry, medium intensity, the apple and sea shell really shine, balanced wine, with the weight of a cooler region Chardonnay, and a nice clean finish. We should all try more Chenin Blanc.
