Albert Bichot, Domaine Adélie – Les Champs-Michaux 2018 – Mercurey

The nose is fruity and offers a good definition, freshness, a fine intensity and a very fine concentration (in elegance) as well as a fine racy power. It reveals notes of quince, Mirabelle, small notes of mandarine associated with fine touches of crushed pear, crushed brugnon, lychee as well as fine hints of vanilla, toasted and very discreet hints of sweet spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, a good definition as well as precision, a racy minerality, a very fine suavity, a very fine fat and precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy quince, pulpy brugnon, small notes of crushed Mirabelle associated with small touches of lemon, green apple as well as hints of toasted, vanilla and very discreet hints of sweet almond (in the background). Good length.
