Vin de Paille - Chapoutier - 37.5 cl
(96–99)/100 - Robert Parker (Wine Advocate)
Peak: 1997 - 2047
Rare Wine – Limited Production
An exceptional cuvée by Michel Chapoutier, produced using the traditional vin de paille method, which involves drying the grapes on racks to concentrate their aromatic richness.
The 1996 vintage impresses with its extraordinary olfactory complexity. Robert Parker, one of the world's greatest critics, describes a striking resemblance to white truffle aromas, a noble and rare note that only the finest sweet wines can express.
The sumptuously rich palate unfolds flavors of candied fruit, honey, sweet spices, and black tea, supported by a perfectly balanced freshness. The length is breathtaking, worthy of the world's greatest sweet wines.
Note:
Ultra-limited production: only 1,000 bottles
This wine is a collector's item, sought after by the greatest wine connoisseurs.
