Great wine from the house of Michel Chapoutier
94/100 Parker
When to drink this wine : A mature wine that can be drunk now.
Parker's 2004 tasting: "Perhaps the most surprising thing about Michel Chapoutier's 2002 whites is how spectacular they are. For lack of space, I will only give the numerical score for this wine, which is evolved, but exceptional for such a difficult vintage. As I have said many times over the last 15 years, the best Chapoutier wines are meant to be drunk over the very long term and are not designed for immediate gratification. Everything Chapoutier does, from his biodynamically farmed vineyard to the low yields, extended fermentations, indigenous yeasts and absence of fining or filtration, is designed to produce the essence of a vineyard and a vintage. The results he has achieved since 1989 and 1990 prove admirably that these are indeed remarkable wines made by a young genius who refuses to compromise. Michel Chapoutier has been misunderstood by some of his peers, and there's a lot of jealousy when someone so young is so incredibly talented, but it's an irrefutable fact that these are wines of singular greatness as well as longevity..."
