Grainy and detailed with a lovely mineral edge. So fresh, with a fine-grained lemony character. Subtle yet precise and really pure. 95\/100<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24277\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/lucmassy-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/lucmassy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/lucmassy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/lucmassy-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Luc Massy Dezaley Chemin de Fers 2004 Vaud, Switzerland<\/strong><br \/>\nChasselas built for ageing. There\u2019s a supple green, delicate herbal edge to this wine, with a hint of weed. Some dried hay and wax notes, too: this is ageing well. It\u2019s soft textured but appealing. 93\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luc Massy Dezaley Chemin de Fers 2008 Vaud, Switzerland<\/strong><br \/>\nRich, smooth, ripe and seamless. Quite textural and refined with nice depth and harmony.

People complained that it was too acidic, but now younger winemakers are showing interest in it. This is a remarkable wine. There\u2019s a bit of sweetness and nice texture with a smooth, linear mouthfeel. This has such purity, with lemon, pear and a hint of melon, and a pure finish, as well as some smoky hints. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don&#8217;t see a lot of Swiss wine in the UK.
