Domaine du Clos d’Alari – Grand Clos 2019 – Côtes de Provence

The nose is fresh, slightly tight and offers concentration as well as fine power. There are notes of juicy/fresh peach, juicy lemon, small notes of juicy mandarine associated with fine touches of juicy/fresh pineapple, mandarine flowers and an imperceptible hint of sense of place. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, juicy, beautifully defined and offers a nice finesse, roundness (in control), a juicy/fresh frame as well as precision and minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy lemon, juicy nectarine, small notes of green apple associated with touches of quince as well as fine hints of exotic fruit, quénette, a subtle hint of crunchy pineapple, lemon flowers, mandarin flowers and an almost imperceptible hint of rosemary/olive (in the background). Good length.
