2007 Chateau Du Cros Loupiac (375ml)

Chateau du Cros is situated on the opposite bank of the Garonne River to Sauternes. Proprietor Michel Boyer maintains that in great years, du Cros can produce as good a wine as any from the other side of the river. Nick Chlebnikowski recalled a visit when Boyer opened a bottle of 1927 Ch. du Cros and compared it next to a 1927 Ch. d’Yquem. He made his point!

Deep golden colour with gold, brassy edges and pale gold hue. Quite deep and advanced for a 2007. The nose displays good intensity with aromas of dried honey, ripe apricot and spice. The palate displays tremendous concentration and richness along with a thick viscous texture and relatively soft acidity. Flavours of honey, apricot, peaches
and spice. Clean finish with long aftertaste of honey, ripe apricot, spice and honeycomb.
A super ripe, fat and very concentrated Loupiac.
