2017 Domaine Guiberteau Les Moulins

Last night, we had this 2017 Domaine Guiberteau Les Moulins. My first impression was that it tasted very much like our 2017 Chenin Blanc Sec that we make, which I call a wine that only a mother could like, let alone love. Our 2017 Chenin Blanc Sec is very acidic which is very much the style of this 2017 Les Moulins. In fact, when we first made our Chenin Blanc in 2015, it was very acidic so we went on a quest to educate our palates regarding Chenin Blanc styles and found that Guiberteau made a Chenin Blanc packed with acidity. Becky Wasserman described Romain Guiberteau's Chenin Blanc in these terms: "They are so uncompromising, so violently assertive, so brilliantly mineral" and "dry chenins of punk rock violence, yet of Bach-like logic and profoundness."
We had the 2017 Domaine Guiberteau Les Moulins with a caprese salad with fresh ripened tomatoes from the nearby Wehpittituck Farms run by our friend Jimmy Moran.

The combination of the wine and the Domaine Guiberteau Les Moulins was a refreshing repast on a hot, humid summer evening.
