Michel Redde et Fils, Majorum 2022 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a pale bright lemon yellow color. The nose is subtle, discreetly toasted and spicy. On the first nose, we find aromas of toasted hazelnut, toasted wood and apricot kernel in the background, a fine touch of vanilla, saffron and ground cumin, as well as notes of crushed lemon zest and zest of grapefruit. Then, the wine expresses the aromas of fresh apricot, white peach, green apple, green pear and Meyer lemon. We also find a herbaceous touch reminiscent of laurel, a hint of wax and honey and wild white flowers. The palate is chiselled and savoury. The attack is straight, tangy, with notes of citrus (lime, yellow lemon, grapefruit) and green fruits (green apple, tangy green pear). In the mid-palate, we find the roundness of white peach and apricot, associated with notes of wax, honey and dried white flowers, lime blossom, chamomile). Then, the wine expresses a mineral framework (limestone), a fine spicy, woody and lactic touch (vanilla yogurt, toasted hazelnut, ground cumin, saffron in the background). The finish is long, lively and tangy, with juiciness and freshness of tart stone fruits.
