Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 1985

The difference 40 years makes is maybe just a thin wooly blanket.

Pull it back and this thing's full of life - bright, vibrant, gas in the tank.

It’s brighter yellow than tired gold. Theres more fruit than decay. Sour apricots and yellow canned peaches, white popcorn and greasy bacon, and that foggy musk.

Acid rips through and does not give. Barely sweet with the demi-sec tag thats written right there but I'm not buying it.

Tonight this is 40 years old, just gettin' goin, just like me.

Winner! Been awhile since I’ve been “wowed” by a wine, but this really delivered. It’s everything special about southern France, it’s not a huge wine and had a bit of heat that dissipated by Night 2, but the aromatics and flavor profile was just so spot on, so beautifully complex & engaging, so regionally specific - it was like a textbook. Believe this was about $20 give or take and I’m going back for a case. — 4 months ago

Honeysuckle, apricot marmalade, persimmon.

Silken. Super balanced. Bought two. One to drink tonight and one to drink down the line.

Tropical fruits, balanced acidity, melts on the palate like a pad of butter made of wildflowers and honey.
