Château Haut-Tellas Fûts de chêne 2022 – Entre-Deux-Mers

(vinified and aged in oak barrels) The nose is delicately spicy and very fragrant. It expresses subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon, complemented by a hint of fresh hazelnut and cumin grains. We also find juicy and fresh fruity notes – yellow lemon, pink grapefruit, candied lemon zest, fresh pineapple, white peach and crunchy apricot, combined with subtle notes of acacia, honeysuckle, apple blossom and orange blossom (background). On the palate, the wine is expressive and offers pronounced woody notes, but more delicately spicy than roasted. It expresses the flavors of fresh vanilla, more slightly – toasted and grilled hazelnut, combined with fine spicy hints of clove and cumin seeds. There are also notes of crunchy white peach and apricot, fresh pineapple, lemon zest and lemon, combined with notes of acacia and hawthorn. Smoothness and roundness on the palate, refreshed by a lively acidity. A concentrated wine, fresh and persistent on the palate, with complexity and accuracy.
