Domaine Roger Belland 2018 – Santenay-Beauregard Premier Cru

The nose is fresh, fruity, beautifully defined, finely tight and offers elegance, a very fine incisive side and an aromatic purity. It reveals notes of juicy/pulpy lemon, pulpy/juicy mirabelle, small notes of fresh quince associated with small touches of crushed pear as well as very discreet hints of lychee, yellow flowers, petal rose, toasted oak and vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame, precision, a small racy/finely tight tension and a beautiful guideline. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quince, small crushed white fruits, lychee, small notes of juicy/fleshy yellow apple associated with fine hints of lemon, a subtle hint of quenette, yellow flowers, rose pearl as well as a subtle hint of racy minerality and a discreet hint of bee wax. Good length.
