CHATEAU de FESLES
This is a really Top Estate; according to the American Wine Guru Robert Parker, the Bonnezeaux from this domaine deserves to be in a category of its own.
Probably the best sweet wine from the Loire! |
|
|
Bonnezeaux from Ch. de Fesles is:
Made with 100% Botrytised Chenin Blanc grapes, which are hand picked in 5-7 pickings. Fermented in oak casks for 1-2 months, then stored a further 10-15 months in oak barrels before release. |

BONNEZEAUX
(Sweet Dessert Wine)
Chateau de Fesles
A classic sweet dessert wine vintage.
Bright yellow hue with green tints.
Bouquet of fresh fruits, spice and a touch of oak. Very smooth on the palate, great with as an aperitif or with Roquefort or Stilton.
This wine will only improve with further aging. |

DOMAINE
DES ROCHES NEUVES
This is
a top biodynamic domaine run by Thierry Germain.
The whites are very elegant and refined; with a round full fruit taste
with a long lasting finish.
|
|
|
These wines are very
popular in France; so are very difficult to obtain for export to
the UK. The
Revue du Vin de France (issue 513), considers this one of
the best domaine's in the Loire.
No wonder they are sought after, especially as they are
constantly sold-out as only small quantities are made. |

DOMAINE HUET
This is
generally considered one of the TOP domaine's in Vouvray.
These
wines are some of the greatest white wines money can buy with an ability to
age for decades and decades. When mature, the sweetest wines easily rival
Yquem or top German TBAs, but are a fraction of the price. 2015 looks like
rivalling some of the great vintages of years gone by and we cannot
recommend them highly enough. |

“Do yourself a favour, forget all the hullabaloo
about Bordeaux and Burgundy; go seek Gaston Huet’s
wines… to silence a dinner part with awe and
wonderment.”
Neal Martin
"Huet Vouvrays can be some of the greatest wines in
the world”

'Le Haut-Lieu' Demi Sec
Huet
Wine Spectator -
Features a wide range of apple,
green melon, ginger and green plum notes gliding throughout, with the
off-dry edge imparting a flattering feel. Latent minerality lengthens the
finish. |

'Clos du Bourg' Demi Sec
Huet
Wine Spectator -
Quite ripe, with tropical mango
and papaya notes mixed with peach, apple and quince flavours. Pretty ginger
and heather notes fill in the background, while the finish shows a
well-embedded mineral edge, imparting tension to match the opulence. |
