Chapoutier Muscat Beaumes de Venise 2015 375ml x 12 (France)

Description

"A classic rendition offering lifted aromas of mango, pineapple, apricot, floral and honey on the nose, leading to an attractively sweet palate that is juicy and smooth. The wine offers immediate appeal and vibrancy, nicely balanced by refreshing acidity. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2018

"Aromas and flavours of sweet scented tree fruits - pears & apples; very floral and salivating with blossoms and medium+ acidity. No mistaking the influences of alcohol with heat from the branding fortification. Medium weight, fine satin texture, balanced exotic perfumed finish. Drink now and through 2030 - this wine will go the distance" Cameron Douglas Masert Somilier, Jun 2018

Bright, even straw-yellow colour with some depth, paler edged. The nose is soft and elegant in proportion with moderately concentrated aromas ripe grapes, tropical fruits and suggestions of raisins, musk and honied notes, revealing subtle savoury stonefruit elements. Sweet to taste and medium-full bodied, the palate has moderately concentrated flavours of ripe grapes, musk and exotic florals, with raisin hints. The mouthfeel is bright and zesty with good energy to balance the richness and lusciousness, with clean spirit drive. The wine is smooth-flowing with soft and rounded textures, and possesses good linearity with underlying alcohol, carrying to a rich, musky, honied finish with some acid bite. This is an elegantly concentrated Muscat vin doux naturel with intense flavours of ripe grapes and musk with good drive and zesty acid cut. Serve as an aperitif and with fruit desserts over the next 3-4 years. Muscat Petits Grains fermented with the addition of alcohol spirit to stop fermentation at 15.5% alc. and approx. 115 g/L RS" Raymond Chan, Dec 2017

Made from the Muscat grape this delicious dessert wine is pale golden yellow in colour with a bright and intense colour. Powerful, rich and elegant with aromas of candied fruits and flowers. The palate is well balance, long tasting with an aromatic persistence
