Golden. Tangy at first with beautiful balanced fruit and gorgeous midpalate. Very good

Always tasty. This one was more honeyed and evolved than I was suspecting. Still delish.

A tiny oxy note on opening. Almond, marzipan nutty notes together with pear. Not a full on sweet dessert style like a Sauternes. Palate of lime marmalade and ripe mandarin flesh and a good discussion around the table with some time Delectable correspondent and WSET Level 2 , daughter Georgie. I have one of these bottles left which should be consumed this year. From half bottle.

Tasted some newbies on Vouvray and their lives will never be the same. Continued the tradition of great balance, glorious fruit and nice acidity. Yummers. Always a fantastic wines, especially when shared with those that are just embarking on the journey of wine.

Love Le Haut Lieu! Have the legendary 47 vintage in my cellar and still lively and frankly the most unique white one can drink ever. This was expressive lively acidity and balanced. Says Demi-Sec but tastes little of residual sugar...reminds me to get more!

Super complex, tons of life. I want a gooey ball of Epoisse with this wine.

Absolutely lovely, freshness and elegance all working in harmony. Another gem from last night's SFJOE memorial mole dinner.
