Note di degustazione
The 2005 Vouvray Le Mont Demi-Sec shows a luminous golden-yellow color and a rich and elegant, somewhat oaky and yeasty, but also slightly matured bouquet with leek and asparagus flavors, and also oaky aroma. Highly elegant, quite sweet and also alcoholic on the palate (13.5%), this is a full-bodied, transparent, well structured and elegant Chenin with firm tannins (also from new oak). Still well balanced but exhibiting more winemaking than terroir flavors, this is an impressive, well made wine but still does not show the great terroir of Le Mont. The residual sugar of 21 grams per liter is still very sweet due to the smooth acidity of 4.3 grams per liter (pH 3.27). I recommend to age this wine at least for another 10-15 years.

Almonds and a hint of sulphur. Lots of matière here – really dense and vibrant. Races away with a little sweetness evident. Mouthfilling. Very long. (JR)
The 2005 Vouvray Demi-Sec Le Mont smells of pink grapefruit and orange blossom, quince and honeysuckle, offers only subtle sweetness for all of its eighteen grams residual sugar, and persists on the palate with honey, quince and white currant jelly, and citrus zest pungency, underlain by relatively austere stoniness. Refined, elegant and restrained, Pinguet thinks this is shutting down according to a relatively predictable pattern and will need a couple of years to bounce back. Wine Advocate.August, 2007
