This is serious Chardonnay that sort of creeps up on the taster as it‰۪s in the mouth

Attractive aromatics are followed by a medium-bodied

shaded by fresh earth and spice notes

Reminding me of a great vintage of Raymond Usseglio's Cuv̩e Imperiale

1932 Ch̢teau Mosse Rivesaltes Vin Doux Naturel This is serious Chardonnay thatThe 1932 Rivesaltes has a more understated bouquet when compared with the 1935. But it is just as enchanting with Manuka honey and quince, hints of resin, a little kerosene quite mercurial in the glass. The palate is smooth and very harmonious: just a dash of white pepper on the entry, accompanied by nutmeg, cloves, dried fig and orange zest. It feels very long in the mouth and builds in subtle fashion towards a confident and satisfying finish.
