This 2021 Le Mont Sec fills the mouth with pear, pineapple, nectarine and violet flavors. There's a sense of seduction and succulence through the middle of this wine. The flint and the coolness of the site seem to bring a sense of tension and purpose through this wine, which seduces you then spits you out. Delightful fragrance and a mouthwatering, racy finish.
A pristine dry beauty from the chenin blanc grape! Stunning nose of spring blossom, Yamanashi white peach and honeycomb. Super-focused and racy with excellent concentration, everything gelling beautifully at the precise and intensely mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Vouvray Le Mont Sec opens with the classical flinty fruit aromas on the still discreet but again elegant and fascinating, unique nose that is crystal clear, precise, fresh, intense and aromatic, with concentrated quince and lemon aromas intermingled with chalky and even more saline notes. Crystalline, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, tight and complex Vouvray from green marls and silex soils. The wine is still tight and very tensioned, which is great to taste but challenging to drink at this early stage. The finish is pure, citrusy and very mineral, most of all salty and lemon fresh, with fine tannins and a firm, sustainable structure. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2023.
A concentrated, multilayered wine that is richly styled yet bristling with racy energy, featuring juicy apple and creamed pear flavors marked by ginger, cinnamon and allspice accents, with a firming core of salty mineral. Delicious now, this will only improve with time in bottle. Best from 2024 through 2030. 1,650 cases made.
