"The 2022 Anjou Blanc Ronceray is a saline, salty, smoky number. It has lovely flesh and silky charm, followed by fine phenolic richness. Twelve months in foudre, barrel and amphora means this wine is all about texture. "

"A precise style, with impressive freshness to its pear, melon, persimmon, verbena and flower blossom high tones. Hints of lanolin, heather and lime zest oil add detail to the palate, marked by ample crushed flint and mineral energy. Shows real freshness and structure, with white tea tannins giving grip to the bone-dry finish. Drink now through 2032. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported."
