Full gold colour. Dried apricot and lemon peel, waxy and honeyed and very much in the second stage of its life, where primary fruit has dried up and the complexity is becoming earthy and musty. (RH)

The 1997 Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont 1er Trie, from vines located on silica-based soils, bursts with mouth-watering honeysuckle and freshly cut flower aromas. This majestic, powerful, complex offering is crammed with red fruits, minerals, and floral flavors. Exquisitely balanced, it is harmonious, mouth-coating, and elegant. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2025+. Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel (212) 757-8185.
I had two bottles of the 20-year-old 1997 Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux Premiere Trie and they were pretty different, as were the Le Mont Moelleux Premiere Tries from the same tasting. The first Haut-Lieu I opened displayed an intense and luminescent golden-orange color followed by an intense, concentrated bouquet with dark caramel, white nougat, burnt milk and vegetal aromas (legumes). Very sweet but also salty, finessed and vibrantly fresh on the palate, this is a remarkably lithe but intense, tight and complex Haut-Lieu with great tension, finesse and complexity on the powerful, herbal (marjoram), slightly bitter and astringent finish.
