Jean-Max Roger Cuvée « Les Alouettes » 2023 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The nose is bright and expressive, with pronounced notes of passion fruit and gooseberries (which dominate the nose), complemented by a flint minerality. After aeration, the wine expresses aromas of juicy white peach, lemon juice, a hint of white melon and fresh mango. The palate is tense, vertical and precise, with a sharp acidity and a racy minerality (limestone, a smoky hint of flint). It expresses the flavors, which reflect the aromas on the nose (gooseberries, passion fruit, white peach, white melon), complemented by notes of fresh quince and acacia. The finish is long, chiselled, with a lively acidity and a delicate bitterness of grapefruit and notes of passion fruit on the persistence. A beautiful expression of terroir and typicality.
