Nicolas Girard – Graves Sableuses 2022 – Quincy

The wine has a pale lemon-yellow color with green reflections. The nose is aromatic, fruity and floral. It expresses a fragrant bouquet of white flowers (acacia, lime blossom, apple blossom), associated with ripe stone fruits (white peach, green plum), citrus fruits (yellow lemon, lime, pomelo), rhubarb and a hint of mint in the background. On the palate, the wine offers frank and expressive flavors. We find the notes of fresh lemon, combined with a sweet touch of citrus jam, pomelo, green apple, rhubarb, white flowers (apple blossom, acacia) and a mineral touch (dry stone, gravel). The finish is juicy, ripe, with a certain smoothness, as well as a nice freshness, a hint of bitterness and salinity and a nice acidity. A pleasant and refreshing wine.
