Le Blanc d’Aiguilhe 2018 – Bordeaux

The nose is fruity, beautifully racy and offers a small fleshiness. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of pear, quince, small notes of fresh lemon associated with small touches of small fresh white fruits as well as a fine hint of zests, discreet hints of acacia flowers and a very fine sappy hint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers gourmandize, an acidulous frame, a small fat, a good freshness, a very beautiful fleshy/ripe fruit, sapidity as well as precision and dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/juicy lemon, quince, small notes of acidulous/fleshy Mirabelle associated with small touches of vine peach, very fine hints of grapefruit, quenette, an imperceptible hint of racy minerality and fresh almond (in the background). Good length. A discreet firmness on the finish.
