CHÂTEAU TIRECUL LA GRAVIÈRE

2004 Monbazillac

Grapes Muscadelle, Sauv Blanc, Sémillon
Origin France, South West
Village Monbazillac
ABV 12%

Tirecul’s sweet and decadent 2004 Cuvee Chateau exhibits apricot/peach marmalade, creme brulee and maple syrup aromas and flavors in a full-bodied, unctuous, but well-balanced, pure style. This dessert wine is already remarkably evolved, and should drink well for another 10-15 years – good luck deferring your gratification!

It is fleshy rich fruited on the nose and the palate is lush mouth filling packed with ripe yellow peaches and apricots all underpinned by candied peel. Towards the back hints of hazel nuts add to the complexity with Christmas pudding richness fleshing out the back palate. 2013-2020 (Nov 2013) Rating: 96 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk

Château Tirecul la Gravière

Monbazillac is well-known in French history. The vineyard is planted with a high percentage of Muscadelle (50%), along with Semillon (45%), and Sauvignon (5%). These grapes are picked grape by grape (as they develop the noble rot), not by bunch. The proprietors, Claudia and Bruno Bilancini, actually pass through the vineyard a minimum of four to five times a day. It is an understatement to say these are the greatest wines I have ever tasted from Monbazillac; in fact, they are among the greatest sweet wines I have tasted ... from anywhere! "Robert Parker"
