95+ JG. " 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!" John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Sep/Oct 2015, Issue #59 |
