This Cour-Cheverny is a great, well-balanced dry wine expressing all the richness and typicity of the Romorantin from which it is made. It offers a deep, complex nose of thyme and rhubarb, quite mineral, with a straightforward, fresh and powerful attack on the palate, lemony notes and a balanced finish with great length. A fine vintage!
