Domaine Roger Belland 2016 – Santenay-Beauregard Premier Cru

The nose is elegant, juicy, racy and offers a fine incisive / intense side as well as a fine richness. It reveals notes of juicy citrus notes (lemon, tangerine) and small notes of white fruit (flat peach, apple) associated with slight hints of mesocarp, slight toasted hints / hazelnut as well as a subtle hint of zests ans very discreet hints of spices. The palate is fruity, elegant, well-balanced and offers a good definition, gourmandise, juiciness, precision, tension, a racy minerality as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, ripe / juicy mandarin and small notes of quince associated with fine touches of apple / brugnon as well as a subtle hint of pineapple and an imperceptible oaky hint. Good length.
