Domaine du Tremblay – Les Demoiselles Tatin, Cuvée Sucelus 2018 – Quincy

The wine has a lemon-yellow color of medium intensity. The nose offers complexity, concentration and a fine spiciness. It expresses notes of ripe, fresh and candied citrus fruits (fresh yellow lemon, candied lemon peel, fresh orange zest, a sweet touch of clementine), fresh yellow apple, apricot, yellow peach and pastry, quince, combined with integrated and delicate notes of sweet spices (dried vanilla, grated nutmeg, cloves, ground cumin), notes of fresh flowers (apple blossom) and dried flowers (dried lime blossom, dried wildflowers), with a delicate bitter touch of chestnut honey and wax in the background. On the palate, the wine offers roundness, complexity and a fragrant finish. It expresses notes of candied citrus fruits (lime jam, candied lemon peel), juicy stone fruits (yellow peach, apricot), yellow apple, as well as subtle spicy touches (ground cumin, nutmeg, clove, a hint of vanilla) and a hint of dried field flowers. The finish is complex, aromatic and long. It reveals notes of chestnut honey, beeswax, dried apple, quince paste and a touch of hay, combined with a pleasant bitterness and very light toasted notes (toasted hazelnut, toasted bread) mastered and integrated. The acidity is fresh and salivating. A well-structured, complex wine, with mastered work on aging in oak.
