The wines from Le Haut Lieu’s rich brown limestone clay tend to emphasise the fresh floral character, fruit complexity and supple texture of Vouvray; Le Mont’s flinty ground produces an intense acidity and deep minerality.
Chris Kissack - Wine Doctor, 96 points: "... rich in the scents of lightly candied fruits, along with toasted almond praline, dried fruits, sweet fig and grilled apricot, the evolution as well as the sweetness of the fruit showing through. The palate has a lovely texture and weight, with golden pear, praline and toast, underpinned by a pithy energy and great acidity. A style which is fresh, full, broad and very complete. Very long too. Great for drinking now, but clearly it has a few decades in it yet."
95+pts View from the Cellar – John Gilman: "The stunning bouquet is a blend of orange, apple, pineapple, beautiful chalky soil tones and white flowers. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, very deep and seamless, with beautiful, brisk, framing acids, outstanding mid-palate depth and haunting balance and focus on the very, very long and primary finish."
