WTN: Two great whites

Tonight we sampled two Carcharodon carcharias. First was an organic Loire Chenin that I hadn't heard of before, Domaine Les Loges de la Folie Montlouis-sur-Loire "Nef des Fous" Sec 2009 which was quite lovely. It had remarkable purity and precision, lovely citrus aromas and despite some time in oak I didn't notice wood-influenced aromas. Dry but with lovely, juicy, citric fruit, very moreish and delineated. I liked this very much.

For dessert we had Eric Texier's Opale 2010, a Viognier from Condrieu that is made with Mosel Kabinetts as its stylistic ideal. It is only 7% abv and has 70g/l RS and it is like biting into an apple: crunchy, sweet and deliciously acidic. Outstanding.
I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.
