François Reverdy 2020 – Quincy

The wine has a pale lemon color. The nose is refined, but a bit reserved and expresses itself better after aeration. It expresses notes of fresh citrus (yellow lemon, orange zest, grapefruit), candied citrus (candied yellow lemon peel, candied grapefruit), green apple, cut grass, as well as delicate notes of stone fruits (apricot, white peach), fresh pineapple, flowers (acacia, apple blossom) and a fine note of lemon cream, flower honey, wax and minerality (limestone). On the palate, the wine is juicy, fragrant, supple, but at the same time fresh thanks to a lively acidity. It expresses notes of fresh lemon, lemon jam, crushed green apple, grapefruit, lime zest, as well as fresh herbs (cut grass, peppermint in the background), a slight sweetness of lemon curd as well as a delicate minerality (limestone) in the background. The finish is persistent, fresh and tangy, with menthol and herbaceous notes, fresh citrus and a lively acidity. A complex, balanced and expressive wine.
