This was a 1981 vintage I bought in a wine cave in the Loire Valley and it was spectacular. — 10 years ago
Out of this world minerality acidity and wet slate. Thank you, Ian Cauble! — 11 years ago
Delightful Sauternes-like, but cheaper — 12 years ago
Delightfully light and fruity, closer to a basic NZ sparkling than anything around champagne. Will go back for more (Kris lounge in Sydney). — 10 years ago
At No 3 with my team. Ex-1ere tranche stock released earlier this year (2014)...awaiting the 2nd one in January 2015. I had the Perlant 1969 in August. I am a strong believer in numbers so I put together the 1969 demi sec and the 1989 Close Bourg Moelleux 1ere trie from the veneered domaine Gaston Huet in Vouvray. The main difference lies in the style as opposed to vineyard characteristics, the vintage of course can add extra punch...the moelleux having a more opulent charm, roundness and melting aspect - dryer (though) on the finish. Its sister vineyard wine being more incisive, waxy (hair/wood Lacker pugency) a bit vegetal (cooked Brussels Sprouts). Drier as Demi-Sec by definition, leaner, sharper with a hint of nuttiness towards the finish. Great comparative tasting. — 11 years ago

Like drinking wine from a blue/white Alpen stream thru a stone straw with bubbles!! Hooray! This is a wine that cheers the soul with purity, Vini estremi indeed. The label my favorite, complete with ice axe and rope, I love it!! — 10 years ago
