January 21, 2016 - Gentle decanted and then...what a bottle! Aged to perfection. This wine comes from a 2,3 ha of eighty-years-old vines situated in La Chapelle-Heulin, Goulain area. Aromas of cream, wax and white fruit. Dry-bone. Steely. Density, creaminess and good length on the palate. Delicious and persistent matching penne rigate soaked in arrabiatta sauce with shrimps and mushrooms.
An Atlantic wine? Well Nantes is close to the sea but I really appreciate nobody had mentioned.
Decantado suavemente y entonces...¡menuda botella! Perfectamente envejecida. Este vino viene de 2,3 ha de viñas de ochenta años sitiadas en La Chapelle-Heulin, en Goulaine. Aromas a nata, cera y fruta blanca. Ultra-seca. Acerada. En boca muestra densidad, cremosidad y longitud. Deliciosa y persistente acompañando unos macarrones ahogados en salsa picante con gambas y setas.
¿Un vino Atlántico? Bueno, Nantes está cerca del mar pero agradezco que nadie lo haya mencionado. -

Cerrado al inicio, decidimos decantarlo por falta de tiempo. Muy tímido en cualquier caso. Se despereza sacando piedras y salinidad en estado puro. El rollo que nos gusta. Austero.
Una pena que la boca no vaya a la zaga, se diluye a pesar de que tiene finura.
Un vino que pienso que jamas tuvo una gran boca pero que ha envejecido con gran dignidad. Ahí está esa melon de bourgogne, con dos cojones.
