Domaine Masson-Blondelet, Clos du Château Paradis 2022 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose is mineral and tangy: it first expresses the mineral aromas of limestone and flint, associated with a touch of bitterness of grapefruit and lime zest. We then find the aromas of green apple, green plum, crushed lemon, passion fruit, as well as dried lime blossom, fresh hazelnut in the background and honey. The palate is tasty and expressive, with a fruity and round attack, with notes of white peach, apricot and orange zest. We then smell the flavors of green apple, lemon, grapefruit, as well as gooseberries on the finish, combined with notes of fresh hazelnut, honey, lime blossom and acacia. The finish is persistent, with a very subtle herbaceous touch of blackcurrant leaf.
