Philippe Portier 2021 – Quincy

The wine has a pale lemon color. The nose offers complexity, freshness and pronounced tangy notes. It expresses aromas of lime zest, lemon, grapefruit juice, as well as a delicate and integrated herbal hint (boxwood), floral notes (lemon blossom, apricot blossom), a subtle sweetness of stone fruits (tangy apricot, white peach) as well as a fine iodised minerality. On the palate, the wine offers a tangy and sharp attack, with notes of citrus (lime, lime zest, yellow lemon) and green apple. In the mid-palate, we find flavors of white peach, tangy apricot, a herbaceous (boxwood) and floral (apple blossom, lemon blossom) notes. The finish is chiselled, fresh, with a lively acidity, a slight bitterness of grapefruit, tangy notes of green apple as well as a slight saline touch. A straightforward and fresh wine.
