Critic's Notes

Audrey Frick, 93
J.M. Broadbent, Great Vintage Wine Book

"... expressive on opening, with aromas of crushed apples, river rock, chamomile, and Meyer lemon. The palate offers wonderful balance, with a supple texture, even acidity, and stony underpinnings, as well as a delicate touch of bitter almond on the finish."

Decanter, 92

"Youthfully fresh, honeyed aromas lead into a deliciously silky, fine-textured palate with understated mineral complexity. The fruit is juicy and fresh, with honeysuckle and lanolin notes complementing the balanced 5g/L of residual sugar. Firm acidity and savoury, mineral length suggest a long life ahead. (Drink between 2024-2044)"

John Gilman - View From the Cellar, 93

"... bright and complex bouquet of quince, lemon, chalky soil tones, lanolin, white lilies and a topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is pure, precise and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, a fine spine of acidity, lovely focus and grip and a long, well balanced and complex finish."

James Suckling, 94

"... such an exciting energy on the simultaneously focused and creamy medium-bodied palate. I love the juicy core, then the way the wet stone character builds to an impressive intensity in the long, precise finish. Still really youthful and with great aging potential." 

Vinous Media, 93

The 2023 Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu is a pure, refined, seamless style with pear, pineapple and nectarine flavors. It boasts excellent clarity and refinement, with lovely freshness hailing from calibrated acidity that bursts through this blossoming wine.
