CLOS FLORIDENE 2022 – Graves

The nose is reserved, tangy and with a good bitterness at the opening. It expresses notes of yellow lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Then, we find the aromas of tangy stone fruits (apricot, white peach), a hint of passion fruit, as well as white flowers (acacia, linden infusion, apple blossom), vanilla, fresh hazelnut, toasted hazelnut, even toasted wood), a slight limestone and saline minerality, a hint of dried herbs and flower honey in the background. The palate offers citrus flavors on the attack (yellow lemon, lime, grapefruit), then – apricot, white peach, honey, fresh hazelnut, toasted hazelnut, a hint of fresh wood. The finish is very expressive, sapid, on the tanginess and bitterness of citrus (lime, grapefruit), with a hint of honey and white flowers on the persistence. Beautiful acidity, balance and freshness with a gourmand texture. A wine with potential, but closed for the moment.
