2003 Chateau Du Cros Loupiac

Chateau du Cros is situated on the opposite bank of the Garonne River to Sauternes. Proprietor Michel Boyer maintains that in great years, du Cros can produce as good a wine as any from the other side of the river. Nick Chlebnikowski recalled a visit when Boyer opened a bottle of 1927 Ch. du Cros and compared it next to a 1927 Ch. d’Yquem. He made his point!

The 2003 vintage displays a golden colour with pale gold hue. Aromas of honey, toffee and dried apricots emerge with a hint of raisin as an end note. Full and rich with a luscious mouthfeel; concentrated flavours of dried honey, apricot and spice are followed by toffee & ripe sultana nuances on the back palate. Clean finish. Long aftertaste of dried
honey, spice & ripe sultana.
