Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, sweet
L'Équilibriste — the sweet wine in La Grange Tiphaine's Montlouis range, a Chenin liquoreux carrying around 90 g/l of residual sugar. Candied citrus, quince and dried apricot over acacia honey, beeswax and botrytis spice, the weight of sugar held upright by Chenin's piercing acidity — the tightrope the name refers to. Coralie and Damien Delécheneau farm biodynamically at Amboise.
