1982 Crème-de-Tête

Varietals: Semillon 85-88%, Sauvignon Blanc 10%, Muscadelle 2-5%

Christian Medeville, Julie’s father, rejects modern marketing methods, preferring instead to keep his precious nectar made from Semillon, Sauvignon & Muscadelle in vats under anaerobic conditions for an amazing 20 years before bottling and selling it. The Crème de Tête is First Growth quality with a powerful bouquet and intense flavour of liquorice and peaches and cream, following by a long barley-sugar aftertaste.” - Tom Stevenson, The New Sotheby’s Wine

Bottled in 2000: floral, orange and honey nose; semi-sweet, burnt orange peel and barley sugar flavours with a cola note; lovely mouth feel - 5 Stars, Tony Aspler, Mar 25, 08.
