"I have a lot of this wine and the Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec in my cellar and it kills me to think that my bottles are going to need drinking up over the short term, as these two wines are clearly two of the greatest white wines I have ever had the pleasure to taste! The 2002 Le Mont Demi-Sec soars from the glass in a stunning aromatic constellation of orange, sweet quince, brilliantly complex minerality, incipient notes of honeycomb, orange zest and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure and racy, with bottomless depth at the core, laser-like focus, gem-like brilliance and simply stunning length and grip on the complex and so magically elegant finish. This is both more refined and more complex than the superb 2002 Le Haut Lieu Demi-Sec!"
