Domaine Masson-Blondelet, D’or et Diamant 2022 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose offers concentration, juiciness, all in freshness. It expresses notes of passion fruit, lychee, green mango, gooseberry, combined with aromas of green apple, Reine Claude plum, lime zest, crushed yellow lemon as well as grapefruit. After aeration, we find floral scents (acacia, apple blossom), as well as a racy minerality in aromas of chalk and flint. We also find a pleasant herbaceous touch (blackcurrant bud, cut grass) after aeration. On the palate, the wine is precise and expressive. The attack offers a good bitterness of lime and grapefruit, as well as the tanginess of green apple and passion fruit. In the mid-palate, the wine offers juiciness and a certain roundness of white peach, apricot and orange zest. The finish is persistent, juicy, tangy and gourmand at the same time – it expresses flavors of green apple, gooseberry and crushed lemon, as well as a smoky limestone minerality (gunflint). Good acidity and good persistence on the palate.
