La Réserve de Malartic 2018 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity and offers a very beautiful freshness as well as a racy minerality. T reveals notes of ripe/fresh lemon and ripe tangerine seed associated with small notes of crunchy fresh peach, racy minerality (gravels/terroir) as well as hints of toasted and hazelnut. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a beautiful acidulous frame, a small aerial side, suavity, fat as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/juicy lemon, ripe/juicy tangerine and small notes of juicy pineapple associated with a touch of vine peach, quenette, flowers, gravels as well as a very discreet hint of apple (in the background). Good length and good aromatic persistence. There are fine hints of toasted/hazelnut and an imperceptible hint of grilled bread on the finish/persistence.
