Ripe and saline, like biting into a fresh oyster-peach.
A wonderful Pepiere.

How sad when flights of drunken fancy are brought to earth by literal materialists.
And yet...
Drink a glass or two or three and then perhaps you will understand.

And here I was merely holding out for a second bottle. I am impressed.

Had a lovely bottle yesterday but mine wasn't showing many peachy notes. But then my descriptor capabilities may be limited by having never tasted oyster peaches!
Each Peach Pear Plum. I spy Tom Thumb!

My liver is sturdier than yours. Might take two or three bottles before I confuse molluscs and drupes.

Some hints of chalk and quartz are beginning to emerge with air.
No Jeff, I have eaten neither. But nonetheless.

I always hold out for the second bottling. Especially because I age these things.
As far as first bottlings go, the 2009 is most impressive. Did not get going until the second day for me though.

For what it's worth, the peach vs. other fruit issue is not the main point. I was just intrigued because I didn't notice anything quite into that ripe-fruited spectrum.
But then I may be thinking of very ripe peaches.
More bottles are called for.
More slightly underripe peach, a bit crisp as you bite into it. Or maybe I'm talking through my hat.
Which today was an Oracle baseball cap in case you were wondering.

Ok, and I guess that is what you were getting at with the oyster-peach comment.
So we've come full circle but more bottles are still called for!

the 09 is ripe, make no mistake about it
I agree about the ripeness. Although when I think 'peach' I think of yellowish orange fruits and stuff that moves into off-dry German riesling territory, whereas even the riper Muscadets don't quite move that far.
Anyway, the consensus seems to be that more of this wine is called for!

So it's first bottling for Huet Petillant '02 and second bottling for Pepiere '09? Quite confusing, how does one differentiate the two Pepieres?originally posted by .sasha:
