"Two exceptional sweet wines are Chapoutier’s Vins de Paille. Both the 2006 and 2007 reveal nearly unreal richness with over 150 grams of residual sugar, marmalade, honeyed fig, prune, and exotic candied fruit notes, and full-bodied, unctuously-textured personalities. It is difficult to say which is better at present, but both are capable of lasting 100 or more years . . . . They are all astounding wines, especially in 2007." Wine Advocate #182, Apr 2009 |
