Francois d’Allaines – La Blanchisserie 2017 – Beaune

The nose is flowery, racy and offers a racy minerality. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of lily, lilac and small notes of raspberry associated with touches of blackberry, rose, plum as well as fine hints of liquorice, toasted and graphite. The palate is fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a beautiful acidulous/juicy frame, suavity, a good definition, gourmandize as well as a beautiful maturity of the fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy cherry, fleshy/juicy plum and small notes of juicy cassis associated with small touches of juicy blue fruits, flowers (lily, rose, lilac) as well as discreet hints of liquorice, toasted and a very discreet hint of vanilla (in the background). Good length. A wine on the fruit and easy-drinking.
