"Ripe dark cherry and cassis are strikingly capped with high-toned herbal and floral distillates in Duperray’s 2009 Fleurie La Chapelle Des Bois Tres Vieilles Vignes (tasted in its final assemblage), rendering it highly reminiscent of its 2008 counterpart. Wisteria and elder flower further waft across this wine’s polished, deeply-fruited palate, while nut oils add rich depth, and saline savor of crustacean shell reduction helps render it irresistibly mouthwatering and invigorating. This finishes with sensational persistence, along with buoyancy such as few wines of this vintage can equal. I suspect this will perform memorably . . ." Wine Advocate #196, Aug 2011 |
