Le Blanc d’Aiguilhe 2021 – Bordeaux

The nose is fruity, fresh and reveals a fine pulpiness. There are notes of fleshy/fresh vine peach, pulpy nectarine and, more slightly, apple, combined with fine touches of lemon, lemon blossom, verbena, and discreet hints of iodine and mother of pearl. The palate is nicely marked by the terroir, fruity, chiselled and offers an acidic backbone, crispness, a nice energy, minerality, elegance and finesse. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fresh apple, crunchy vine peach and, more slightly, lychee, combined with touches of lemon, a subtle hint of lemon caviar, passion fruit and an imperceptible touch of rose. A lot of sincerity and attention to detail in this wine. Chewy, almost aromatic tannins. A lovely gastronomic white.
