Domaine des Chasseignes, Les Démalés 2022 – Sancerre

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose expresses notes of juicy stone fruits, even a little sweet (yellow peach, apricot, yellow plum), associated with notes of candied lemon peel, passion fruit, fresh lemon and grapefruit. . After aeration, the wine also expresses spicy aromas (clove, vanilla, nutmeg, ground cumin), associated with a woody touch (toasted wood, toasted hazelnut, a hint of fresh almond), flowers (acacia , dried lime, chamomile) and a hint of limestone in the background. On the palate, the wine is voluminous and enveloping, but fresh. In the attack, we find notes of white peach, ripe lemon, grapefruit, candied lemon peel and gooseberries. Then, the wine expresses delicate spicy and woody notes (nutmeg, cloves, a hint of vanilla, toasted hazelnut, toasted wood in the background). The finish is savoury and gourmand, with notes of flower honey and white flowers (acacia, lime blossom, apple blossom). We also find a limestone, herbaceous hint (blackcurrant leaf) and a subtle bitterness on the persistence. Good length, juiciness and lively acidity.
