The citrus-colored 2015 Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec is pure, fresh and chalky on the nose where ripe and concentrated fruit aromas along with some subtle herbal aromas are displayed. Full-bodied, very mineral, salty and ripe, this is a concentrated, powerful, densely woven yet finesse-full and elegant Chenin with a very long and grippy, tension-filled finish. Great aging potential. (93+) Score: 93 Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2020-2030 28 October 2016 |

Solidly ripe, with a full-bodied core of ginger, pear and persimmon notes allied to a racy spine that lengthens the finish, letting ginger, quince and green almond accents play out. This should age well in the cellar. Best from 2017 through 2027. Score: 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2017-2027 01 May 2016 |

Primary but still minerally apple and pear fruit, glorious quince intensity on the palate. A light cedar note enhances the piercing freshness and the fruit is creamy and rich. Fabulous vintage and much too young but already delicious. (17+ Points) Score: 17 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2025 01 May 2016 |
