Domaine Masson-Blondelet, Villa Paulus 2023 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a very pale lemon yellow color. The nose offers a certain concentration, density and freshness, as well as a racy minerality, which intensifies after aeration. It expresses notes of lemon zest, fresh lemon, grapefruit in the background, green apple, tangy green plum, a floral touch (dried linden, acacia), as well as expressive minerality (limestone, gunflint) and notes of dried citrus (dried lemon peel). The palate expresses a good bitterness of grapefruit and lime on the attack, combined with notes of lemon, green apple, gooseberries, green plum, as well as white flowers (acacia, apple blossom, dried linden) and a mineral framework (limestone, gunflint smoke). The finish is rather persistent, juicy and fruity – with notes of ripe citrus and green apple. A pleasant juicy texture in the mouth.
