Jean-Michel Sorbe – Clos de La Victoire 2022 – Quincy

The wine has a pale lemon color, with green reflections. The nose is expressive, lively and tangy. It shows notes of gooseberries, passion fruit, lemon, lime zest, as well as herbaceous (boxwood, cut grass, a touch of mint) and floral (acacia, lime blossom) notes. On the palate, the wine is tangy and lively. It expresses the pronounced herbaceous and vegetal notes (boxwood, cut grass, green bean), associated with tart fruity flavors of sour green apple, lemon, lime and grapefruit. The acidity is salivating and pronounced. The finish is quite persistent and offers a certain roundness, notes of tangy stone fruits (white peach, crunchy apricot) as well as a slight bitterness of grapefruit. An incisive, fresh and intense wine.
