Château de Rouillac 2021 – Bordeaux

The nose is elegant, aromatic and offers complexity and fine intensity. There are notes of juicy/sparkling white peach, quince and, to a lesser extent, tangerine, combined with fine hints of fresh/juicy yellow fruit and hints of racy minerality, a sense of place and a very discreet, almost iodine-like touch. The palate is fruity and reveals minerality, elegance, a certain roundness, airiness in its volume and a fine richness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/pulpy nectarine, pear and more slightly lychee, quenette combined with hints of quince, citrus, fine points of lemon blossom, sense of place as well as a discreet almost acacia and almost buttery touch. Good length. A subtle hint of ripe almond on the finish/persistence.
