Patrice Moreux – La Loge aux Moines 2017, Monopole – Pouilly-Fumé 

The nose is racy and offers minerality as well as concentration/intensity. It reveals notes of honey suckle, orchid/glycine and small notes of ripe citrus associated with touches of vine peach, fresh flowers of peach as well as fine hints of ripe almond. The wine should be decanted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, energy/dynamism, a mineral frame, freshness, a beautiful precision as well as roundness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, quenette/fleshy litchee and small notes of flowers (honey suckle, orchid/glycine) associated with touches of fleshy green apple as well as very discreet hints of sweet spices and a very discreet hint of toasted (in the background). Good length.
