Medium gold color. High pitched nose. Notes of lemon, apricot, stones and some spice. Rich in the mouth, with ample acidity although the structure, fruit and acidity combo feels like this has some good age. There's a slight mustiness too. Really good. Guessed 86 Ramonet Ruchottes.

Mid yellow in colour with greenish tinges. An oxidative Sherry like note. Mouldy ripe apple and apricot with a honeyed nuance. On the palate a full bodied white with a syrupy note. Ripe fruit developing a hefty 15.5% ABV. The delicious ripeness of the fruit hiding the high alcohol to an extent. This vineyard has a fascinating history. The Coulee de Serrant vineyard is a controlled appellation of only 7 hectares. The vineyard was planted in 1130 by Cistercian monks and today consists of vines aged from 35 to 80 years old. This Serrant wine was celebrated by Louis XI and Louis XIV as one of the best French white wines.

Amber in color, drinking quite well. It’s a bit exotic, and alcohol is a little elevated. Bruised yellow apples, orange oil, a touch of oxidative notes, baked hazelnuts and acacia honey. Persistent finish.

Ridiculous. One glass should take an hour to ponder, swish, swirl, sip and discuss. Intense.
