Color : White
Wine estate : Louis Bovard
Designation : Lavaux
Name : Salix - Chenin Blanc
Country : Switzerland
Vivino : 4.5/5
Note : Louis Bovard makes bio-dynamic culture and has introduced in the Lavaux new grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc. The name of Salix comes from the Latin word meaning the willow, with which one braided the branches to make baskets of vintage. A golden yellow straw robe with a nose of citrus, pineapple and mineral. Once in the mouth, the explosion of flavor with a nice acidity and a taste of citrus and apple. The final is excellent, it remains in the mouth and perfectly accompanied a fish.

Louis Bovard fait de la culture bio-dynamique et a introduit dans le Lavaux des nouveaux cépages comme ce Chenin Blanc. Le nom de Salix vient du terme latin signifiant le saule, avec lequel on tressait les branches pour faire des paniers de vendange. Une robe dorée jaune paille avec un nez d’agrumes, ananas et minéral. Une fois en bouche, l’explosion de saveur avec une belle acidité et un goût d’agrumes et de pomme. Le final est excellent, il reste bien en bouche et accompagné parfaitement un poisson.

@délectable : CRI domaine st Martin des champs ! Rien à voir
@Xavier Davila : hyper bon en fait ! On ne l'a pas bu au bon moment. C'est une vendange tardive. Au top sur le roquefort. — 8 years ago

I should never drink a '94 ZH not blind because I actually start to salivate if I see the label. The nose is loaded with every imaginable tropical fruit . In the mouth a viscose ball of wine that you think will suffocate you but like a David Copperfield illusion it somehow caresses every crevice in your mouth with perfect balance. — 9 years ago

Unfortunately slightly over the top with rather oxidised aromas. Still a very elegant wine — 9 years ago

1988 very youthful nose; suggests a bright future. Lily bulb and Caramelized sugar (duh), but offers greater complexity with air time. Modest sweetness, moderate complexity; while very long, palate less interesting than nose. — 9 years ago

Kinda goofed on the choice - didn't notice that it was "Vendage Tardive" - but happy accident: this was awesome! — 9 years ago

Wowee... I was mesmerized by the purity and the cleanliness of the fruit in this wine... Extremely well balanced and bright. Perfect sweetness, not cloying, just perfect. Dangerously approachable at the moment! So why wait...? — 9 years ago
