The 2005 Vouvray Le Mont Demi-Sec shows a luminous golden-yellow color and a rich and elegant, somewhat oaky and yeasty, but also slightly matured bouquet with leek and asparagus flavors, and also oaky aroma. Highly elegant, quite sweet and also alcoholic on the palate (13.5%), this is a full-bodied, transparent, well structured and elegant Chenin with firm tannins (also from new oak). Still well balanced but exhibiting more winemaking than terroir flavors, this is an impressive, well made wine but still does not show the great terroir of Le Mont. The residual sugar of 21 grams per liter is still very sweet due to the smooth acidity of 4.3 grams per liter (pH 3.27). I recommend to age this wine at least for another 10-15 years.
