Les Choisilles 2007 is a very great wine, with a superb ageing potential of at least 20 years. It’s a straightforward wine, chiseled like a Japanese sword blade, and yet behind that edge, there’s a sweetness that peeks out. As it evolves, it will develop aromas of medlars and persimmon, accompanying the lemony notes that we can already smell. A superb gastronomic wine, which should be reserved for shellfish and fish.
