Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 3, 2012 - This bottle followed the 2010 Sec Le Mont that we finished off just along side this Haut Lieu. Having the benefit of both bottles together makes for a vivid tasting comparison. All in, I have to give the better praise to the Le Mont, as to me it seems more complete. So the differences? Well, the Haut Lieu seems to have much higher acid to me, seen in both green apple, mango and crisp pineapple. The acid really dominates the fruit, and I love acid, but it's more treble than balance in comparison to the Le Mont. There is a grapefruit note here, a tart lemon, both in the finish, along with what is a very nice, pure mineral water type component. The Haut Lieu is simply has more acidic tension, it will need more time to sofen that the Le Mont, which shows great potential but also is in better balance now.
