(90+ points) The sweet and golden 2009 Montlouis sur Loire Les Lys has clear but warm and ultra ripe jumping-out-of-the-glass fruit, from what is surely a consequence of the warm vintage. On the palate, however, this wine is stunningly clear, elegant, piquant and animatingly juicy. The sweetness is obvious here but just as an essential part of the fruit ripeness. This full-bodied wine has just 11.5% alcohol, which makes it dangerously quaffable. - Stephan Reinhardt
