Domaine Serge Dagueneau & Filles La Léontine 2022 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The aromas on the nose are gourmand, ripe, slightly sweet. We find in particular the aromas of candied lemon peel, fresh pineapple, passion fruit, gooseberries, as well as grapefruit and orange zest. The wine also expresses aromas of apple blossom, elderberry syrup, yellow peach, vanilla in the background, fresh hazelnut, honey and dried lime blossom. The palate is tangy, chiselled, with an attack on citrus flavors (candied lemon peel, lime zest, grapefruit) and a salivating acidity. In the mid-palate, we find exotic fruits and tangy but gourmand stone fruits (white peach, crunchy apricot, passion fruit as well as gooseberries), a touch of fresh hazelnut, honey and lime blossom. The finish is quite persistent and offers good bitterness, as well as a chiselled touch of blackcurrant leaf and minerality of limestone. Accuracy, freshness and a distinguished minerality.
