Clos Marsalette 2023 – Pessac-Léognan

A lovely fruity nose that offers softness, a certain freshness. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy apple, fleshy/juicy nectarine and more lightly – fresh quenette associated with touches of pear blossom, bright pear, as well as a subtle sappy hint in the background and discreetly iodized. The palate is nicely mineral, fresh, juicy, precise, and offers tension. It expresses notes of bright/pulpy vine peach, quenette and more lightly – juicy/fresh pear, associated with a touch of quenette, flowers, as well as a discreet hint of passion fruit, flint/racy minerality. Good length, a subtle tannic hint in the aromatics. Nicely fresh and gourmet, nice fat in freshness and finesse, a very discreet hint of good bitterness on the persistence.
