Full yellow. Expressive peach. Dry, dense, glycerine, and full bodied. This has really rounded out impressively. A bigger, fleshier wine than its stablemate (Clos Ste. Hune), and this has hurtled toward maturity more quickly than the other wine. Both were wonderful tonight.
Medium yellow. Younger, lighter, much more lemony and mineral than the Frédéric Emile. Finer and more elegant. Although angular at its core, it avoids hard edges. Outstanding and looking more and more like a classic Clos Ste. Hune over time.
France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru
Deep yellow. Moderately sweet, medium weight. Great purity of its pear and quince fruit plus spice. Harmonious glycerine feel. Outstanding dessert wine in spectacular form at this age.
