Tasting Notes

This wine opens with an expressive, floral bouquet, featuring notes of honeysuckle and citrus blossom that lift gracefully from the glass. On the palate, layers of honeyed richness unfold alongside ripe pear, fresh lime, and tangerine, creating a beautiful balance between generosity and brightness. A crisp, refreshing finish brings it all together, making this wine as vibrant and engaging as it is approachable. Pair with a citrus and fennel salad with shaved parmesan, seared scallops with lemon beurre blanc, or lightly spiced Thai-inspired dishes with ginger, lime, and fresh herbs.

The 3.79-acre Chenin Blanc vineyard site was first planted in 1919 by Lucien Charles Tamm, who recognized this remote, mountainous site as having similar limestone soils to those in his native France. Today, these old bush-vines are still thriving and producing tiny, concentrated clusters with unique flavor. We blend fruit from these old vines with fruit from newer blocks to create opulent wines that are balanced with structural integrity.
