Description

Top Quarts de Chaume from an exceptional vintage. Sweet Loire wines are often overlooked but typically represent far better value than most wines from Sauternes or Barsac.

Chateau Bellerive Quarts de Chaume 1990: These bottles always look curious when plucked from the cellar, the golden wine appearing brown through the pale green glass. But once the wine is poured we can see its true, very appealing colour. The nose has a gentle honey and brown sugar sweetness, along with what is - to my nose - a fascinating minerally, organic, dry straw funk. The palate also has a gentle, fleshy weight, with a firm presence of orange-golden fruit. It is well framed with gentle acidity, well polished and showing good substance and a little grip. Yet another delicious bottle of this wine, which shows a fine length. Excellent. 18.5/20 (May 2008)

Chateau Bellerive Quarts de Chaume 1990: A burnished, orange-golden hue. The nose is delightful, full of brown sugar, honeycomb, barley sugar, oranges and smoky straw. There is more mature complexity to come on the palate, where alongside the notes of sweet orange fruit and creamy, opulent vanilla there are notes of aniseed, fennel and little minerally notes I have picked up before. There is a little grip, but this wine, firm, complete and well composed, and blessed with a gentle endpalate and long, lingering finish, is certainly ready to go now. Delicious. 19/20 (May 2007)
