Château Haut-Tellas – Dauphin 2023 – Entre-Deux-Mers Blanc

(organic) The nose is expressive and fresh, with chiseled herbaceous and lemony notes, as well as a racy minerality (limestone, dry stone). It expresses the aromas of lemon, dried lemon zest, fresh green apple, crunchy apricot, tangy pineapple, as well as fresh quince and a touch of passion fruit and a lactic hint of apricot yogurt. The palate is gourmand with a fragrant and round attack, with notes of stone fruits (yellow peach, apricot) and a hard citrus mid-palate (fresh lemon, orange, grapefruit). It also expresses notes of candied lemon in the background, honey, dried and roasted green apple, tileuil and acacia. The finish expresses a fresh and salivating acidity, a slight bitterness of lime and a touch of hay and yellow pear. Beautiful concentration and gourmandise.
