Le Cheval Fou Hermitage Blanc 2007
This wine is produced from 100% Marsanne grapes harvested on September 19, 2007. We are astounded at the quality of this wine and expect the critics' highest approval. The banana taffy qualities (tarte aux bananes per our French counterparts) are accentuated by striking notes of nectarine, marmalade and honeysuckle, with underlying tones of crushed rocks, quince fruit and subtle citrus flavors. Only 200 cases of this wine were produced.
Light yellow-gold. Cling peach and poached pear aromas are complemented by smoked meat, spun sugar and floral honey. An ample wine, with deep, slightly sweet orange and orchard fruit flavors and a bite of dusty minerals adding focus. Turns warmer on the finish, leaving behind sweet citrus notes. This strikes me as a bit monolithic right now. (Shaw-Ross International Importers, Miramar, FL) - Jan/Feb 2009
ル・シュバール・フー エルミタージュ・ブラン2007
2007年9月19日に収穫したマルサンヌ種のブドウを100%使用。驚くべき品質。批評家の評価も高い。砕いた岩やカリンの実、柑橘系の風味を背景に、ネクタリンやマーマレード、ハニーサックルの芳香が漂い、さらにバナナ・タフィーの微香がアクセントを加えている。わずか200ケースの限定生産。色は薄い黄金色。燻製肉や綿菓子、花蜂蜜の香りがクリング・ピーチやポーチド・ペアの芳香を引き立てている。スウィート・オレンジをかすかに思わせる深い風味の中に、ザラッとしたミネラルの刺激がアクセントになっている。余韻は温か。甘い柑橘系の後味。
