Domaine Michel Briday Rully Premier Cru La Pucelle 2022 – Rully Premier Cru

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose expresses precise and perceptible, but delicate woody and spicy aromas of toasted hazelnut, toasted almond, toasted wood, vanilla (even with a touch of cinnamon in the background), ground clove and grated nutmeg. Then, we find the sweet and gourmand aromas of candied lemon peel, juicy yellow peach, ripe apricot, mango, associated with the tangy and slightly bitter touch of grapefruit and lime zest, as well as a fragrant floral bouquet (acacia, apple blossom, white lily) and a sweet touch of honey. The palate is expressive, with a spicy and woody attack. It expresses notes of toasted wood, toasted hazelnut, fresh almond, vanilla, grated nutmeg, ground clove, balanced by a good bitterness of grapefruit and a lively acidity of lemon, peel yellow lemon and bitter orange. The mid-palate expresses the flavors of tangy stone fruits (apricot, white peach), as well as honeyed and floral notes (acacia, apple blossom). The finish is chiselled, tangy, with notes of fresh citrus fruits and a woody and spicy side (fresh wood, toasted hazelnut), which we find throughout the tasting. Beautiful complexity and gourmandise on the nose and palate, balanced by a lively acidity of citrus on the palate.
