1990 Montlouis ‘Les Batisses’ 1990 Domaine Deletang

Description

From the outstanding 1990 vintage and scoring 94/100 Parker points, “Two sweet, after dinner dessert wines are the 1990 Montlouis Les Batisses and the 1990 Montlouis Grande Reserve Les Petits Boulay. Both are riveting examples of the sweet nectar-like proportions Chenin Blanc can achieve. The 1990 Les Batisses reveals an awesome nose of honeyed tropical fruits intertwined with floral scents. Great ripeness, crisp acidity, and admirable richness combined with a dense, 45-50 second finish suggest this youthful wine will age for another 20+ years. Olivier Deletang is almost single-handedly bringing world-wide attention to the small, unheralded, and underrated appellation of Montlouis. Readers should regard these wines as lower-priced, less-prestigious cousins of Vouvray. Deletang’s three offerings, all 100% Chenin Blanc, are astonishing for their purity and intensity.” Drink now – 2028.
