Carbon neutral tasters making their way to the Renaissance tasting...
Didier Hauret, Domaine Hauret-Baleine
Benoît Blet, Les Terres Blanches, Oiron between Thouars and Loudun
Anne Guégniard, Domaine de la Bergerie, Anjou
(above and below)
The 2014 Anjou Blanc Sous la Tonnelle is very clean and precise but quite austere at the moment.
Benjamin Joliveau, Domaine Huet, Vouvray
Jean-Bernard Berthomé, Domaine Huet, Vouvray
Tasting the 2013 Clos du Bourg confirmed my favourable impression when I tasted the three 2013 Huet secs in London a few weeks ago – estate's wines back on track after the disappointing 2012s.
Sylvain Potin Clau de Nell
(given the green light!)
Tasted: good ripe, juicy 2012 Grolleau.
Christian Jacques, Clau de Nell
Tessa Laroche, Domaine aux Moines, Savennières
Interesting contrast between the austere 2013 and the fatter and richer 2012, which underwent a 30% involuntary malo.
Virginie Joly, La Coulée de Serrant
The 2013 Le Vieux Clos and 2013 La Coulée de Serrant are showing well.
Jean-François Regnier, Domaine Regnier, Meigné
Was impressed by his attractively textured 2012 Saumur Blanc Cuvée de la Guichardière.
Laura Semeria, Domaine de Montcy, Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny
Laura's two 2013 Cour Chevernys – Domaine de Montcy and Plénitude – showing promised but need time in bottle like Cour-Cheverny usually does.
A different and more complicated pruning system!
