Claude Lafond – La Raie 2016 – Reuilly

The nose is aromatic, quite elegant and offers a slight gourmandise as well as a very slight power (in the background). It reveals notes of quince and white flowers / peach blossoms associated with slight notes of citrus, white fruits as well as subtle touches of butter. The palate is fruity, suave, mineral, elegant, silky, racy, precise and offers juiciness, a slight acid frame, a beautiful definition, a beautiful precision, tension, a beautiful fineness of the grain as well as a beautiful harmony. On the palate this wine expresses notes of lemon, quince and slight notes of lime, crunchy green peach combined with touches of mandarine, quenette as well as a subtle hint of butter (in the background). Good length.
