Tasted from tank, the 2025 Chenin Blanc Helios is insanely beautiful. Citrus peel, sweet flowers, mint, tangerine, oil and slate all soar from the glass. Readers will find a complex, dynamic Chenin loaded with personality and character. Most of the Helios will likely end up in restaurants. Readers who can find it should not hesitate. (AG)

Chenin Blanc is one of those varietals that makes me feel dumb, like I just don't get it, but then I realize that for my palate there's just a lot of mid Chenin Blanc in the world. Whenever I'm presented with an excellent example I find myself enjoying the heck out of and I mean obviously I'm talking about this wine, c'mon. There's a pretty yellow apple on the front, some crushed stones, lemon candy, white and yellow flowers, and a kind of very lightly herbal thing in the far background. The palate is clean and just a toucher richer than I thought it would be, but I'm not mad about it, there's more yellow apple, a little hint of peach, some bright lemon curd, a little bit of dried herbs, and then just a little bit of like the memory of honey on the totally dry finish, it's just got this kind of honey echo there that reminds me after I've had like a big spoonful of honey right out of the jar, as we all do from time to time, but like a half an hour later. Either way, for this price, this wine is absolutely amazing and I like Chenin Blanc and it all makes sense to me now.
