Tasting note
Quarts de Chaume Chenin Blanc should unfold with apricot, quince and honey, lifted by lemon peel and a faint floral aroma. The 1997 wine is expected to feel rich and silky, with Chenin's brisk acidity balancing the sweetness and giving the palate a clean shape. It remains in its listed peak through 2036 and within its horizon to 2047; the finish should be long, carrying orchard fruit into a delicate, savory mineral impression.
