Domaine Louis Max – Les Caudroyes 2018 – Mercurey

The nose is fruity and offers elegance as well as a fine gourmandize. It reveals notes of juicy/fleshy kumquat, small notes of nectarine, sugared pink grapefruit associated with fine touches of passion fruit as well as a subtle hint of racy minerality, sugared mandarine, rose, mandarine flowers. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/mineral/slightly tight frame, gourmandize, a very fine richness and a very discreet tight grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy peach, fleshy apple, small notes of kumquat associated with small touches of exotic fruits as well as hints of mandarine flowers, a subtle hint of racy minerality and an imperceptible hint of toasted. Good length.
