Thanks for clarifying the SO2 situation. i thought I was losing my mind; and at such a young age 😉
A Burgundy glass? Now why didn’t I think of that. I need to retaste the wine in a Burgundy glass then. i will search out another bottle and give it another try. i only know that I love to taste taste taste!
Cheers
]]>I have added a *(please see “comments” below) phrase in my post after writing that this wine was made without sulfur so that the readers of my blog will get the entire picture
]]>Thanks again for commenting. You may very well be correct regarding the SO2 in this wine. I usually take a photo of the back label, but for some reason I didn’t this time. i don’t know why… I am hoping somebody else will also comment on this. But for now, i will take your word since my memory is not 100%. Oh, i should mention that this bottle came from Warsaw, so maybe that will help us figure out if it was with added sulfur. Did the Cuvée Marcel Lapierre come into Poland?
Unfortunately, Google translate doesn’t like to translate from Polish, so I have difficulties following Polish writings, but I will get a personal translator to translate your post.
My reaction to high acid, “slightly” under ripe wines is most likely due to the fact that after 8 years in Norway, where the higher the acidity the better, I got tired of some of these German Rieslings that earned high scores because their acidity was high. The higher the better. Admittedly, I used to devour those wines at first, but I grew quickly tired of them.
My ideal wine, of course, would be one made with perfectly ripe grapes and ripe, juicy acidity 🙂
It’s curious this mention of ageing potential in the higher acid wines. I do agree that the acid component can be a “natural preservative”, helping the wine age longer, but when the fruit is not there to begin with, age won’t help that. I couldn’t find the fruit on this Morgan. Perhaps I was looking for a different “type” of fruit.
Differing opinions are what make the wine world so interesting. And of course, you cannot argue with taste.
I guess I will have to come up to Warsaw and have you introduce me to some older vintages of Lapierre so I can repost 🙂
]]>I no longer have the empty bottle, but I remember reading “sans soufre ajoute” on the back label somewhere, both when I received the bottle and when i opened it. To be honest, I hope I remember incorrectly and that you are right.. However, even if this was a bottle where some sulfur was used, how much exactly? From this producer I would still expect a low dosage, but it certainly didn’t seem that way. It just seemed a bit obvious and I didn’t expect that.
The wine didn’t sit in a decanter for 3 hours, but it remained opened (with cork) overnight, then drank up slowly the next day. My bottle didn’t improve much.
Thank you for your comments. I would love to read your tasting notes on this wine.
