Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast
A very aromatic, wood aged wine. It shows great richness and spice from the wood, along with white fruits. The wine also has freshness, in the form of lime and plums. There is a taut, lively aftertaste. Age for 4–5 years.
— Saget la Perrière 2010 Domaine des Grandes Esperances Aurora Chenin Blanc (Touraine Amboise) (91/100)
A cool Cabernet, fresh rather than structured. It's obvious the wine has been worked hard to get out the red fruit flavors and tannins, and it doesn't quite work. It feels extracted with bitterness as well as a more attractive fruitiness.
