2005 Clos de la Coulée de Serrant

This delicious, absolutely hedonistic chenin blanc is truly worthy of having it's own AOC within Savennières.  This wine is magnificent (and it's been open for several hours, long before my first glass).  I'm buying a case.

Sweet aromas of honey with an essence of quince. Finishes dry with great balance.  Lovely sweet notes move into fruit and then finish dry;a monumentally long finish, 2+ min.

Stay tuned for a review of an older vintage of this.

Also tasted that night was 2006 Auxy-Duresses White Burgundy, Deux Montille; and 2001 W. Gisselbrecht Gewurztraminer VT.
