Les Bois de Saint-Andelain – Silex Albiens 2017 – Blanc Fumé de Pouilly

The nose is fruity, fresh, elegant, racy, beautifully defined and offers complexity. It reveals notes of juicy/ripe lemon, juicy/Fresh quenette, small notes of green apple associated with small touches of ripe/juicy lime, zests as well as fine hints of crunchy peach, flint, a subtle hint of lily of the valley/white flowers (in the background), exotic fruits and a very discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, suave, elegant, beautifully gourmand and offers finesse of the grain, delicacy, an acidulous frame as well as precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy lemon, green apple, small notes of vine peach associated with small touches of quenette, apple flowers, very discreet hints of ripe/juicy lime, fresh mandarine as well as subtle hints of silex/flint and an imperceptible hint of vanilla. Good length. A very subtle wine!
