92 Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media |
"Yellow-gold. Knockout nose combines apricot jam, peach, white plum and spicy, vanillin oak. Lush and fat with fruit; opulent and seamless. Wonderfully concentrated flavors of peach, nectarine and spices, with a whiff of menthol adding complexity. Fat and sweet but with lovely freshness and lift; in fact, this is showing more shape and thrust than it did from barrel a year ago. Finishes long and spicy, with very strong fruit. This is already delicious." (08/06) |
Description:
Vineyard:
"Silica gravel and clayey gravel - quaternary gravel deposited here more than 600,000 years ago on a substratum of Aquitainian limestone. Plateau, high terrace with southern exposure (20%), medium clayey slope, terrace with western exposure (20%) gravelly crests on the upper part of the middle terrace, several exposures from south-west to north."
"A medium-sized vineyard with very good representation of the different soil types and exposures characteristic of Sauternes greatest wines. This diversity, along with the breakdown of our parcels, gives our wines increased complexity and consistent quality over the years." - Winery
Vinification:
"Vertical wine-press with cage (3 pressings). Debourbage was completed in thermostatically controlled vats at 59 degrees F for 12 hours. Fermentation occured In barrels. 30% new barrels each year from la Tonnellerie de l'Allier, medium toast. 64.4 degrees F (air-conditioned chais and controlled hygrometry). Indigenous yeast. 30 to 35 days. Barrel ageing was done in traditional barrels, bung-hole topped by loose-fitting glass stopper, biweekly topping off 18 to 20 months. Racking: 1st year each month, 2nd year every 3 months." - Winery
