Quarts de Chaume Château de Suronde Vieilles Vignes 1990

The wine

The Quarts-de-chaume of château Suronde is a single Chenin grape variety, hand-harvested by successive triage until the end of November. Suitable for keeping for several decades thanks to its fine concentration of sugar and élevage in barriques for 18 months, it unfurls a beautiful golden hue and an aromatic bouquet of extraordinary richness. Notes of exotic fruit blend with those of yellow fruit, Mirabelle plum and vanilla. Creamy and mouth-watering, the palate is balanced by acidity that gives it energy and persistence.
