" The 2014 les Choisilles from François Chidaine is a Sec bottling, though this no longer appears on the front label, but is incorporated into a lovely graph of the various domaine bottlings and where they fall on the residual sweetness scale on the back label. The wine is breathtakingly beautiful, soaring from the glass in a deep, vibrant and utterly refined nose of pineapple, sweet quince, chalky soil tones, a dollop of lanolin, tropical fruit blossoms and incipient notes of bee pollen in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and exquisitely balanced, with a superb core of fruit, brisk, perfectly integrated acids and stunning length and grip on the complex and electric finish. This is an utterly brilliant young wine!"
