(at Louis Latour Xmas selection tasting, 06 Sep 2018)
For vin doux naturels, fermentation is stopped by adding grape spirit to retain the natural sweetness, here leaving the alcohol at a moderate 15% – a friendly fortified for lunch! It explodes with orange blossom, turkish delight, stone fruit and grapey notes, enlivened by citrus acidity.
