Domaine Philippe Gilbert – Clos des Treilles 2020 – Menetou-Salon

The wine has a pale lemon-yellow color. The nose is a bit reserved, and delicate, but offers complexity, freshness and a refined tangy frame. It expresses notes of fresh lemon, green apple, fresh quince, white peach, as well as a fragrant floral bouquet (apple blossom, acacia), subtle and integrated oaky notes (vanilla, toasted hazelnut, cloves), toasted brioche, fresh yeast, as well as herbs (lemon thyme, a touch of peppermint) and a hint of honey, limestone and iodine in the background. On the palate, the wine is chiseled and tangy. It expresses the flavors of lime, fresh lemon, green apple, fresh quince, combined with notes of citrus jam, fresh rhubarb, crisp white peach, with a herbaceous touch (lemon thyme, lemon verbena), floral (apple blossom, acacia) and mineral (slightly saline) in the background. The finish is lingering, with lively, salivating acidity and tart citrus notes. Beautiful energy and complexity.
