Philippe Portier – La Quincyte de Phileppe Portier 2020 – Quincy

The wine has a lemon yellow color of medium intensity. The nose is aromatic, concentrated and complex. It expresses notes of juicy stone fruits (yellow peach, apricot, yellow plum), green pear, fresh lemon, lemon jam, quince jelly, a very fine lactic touch of lemon yogurt, as well as fragrant floral aromas (lily, acacia, dried field flowers), a hint of fresh grass, a slight touch of acacia honey, a spicy hint of cumin and vanilla and a subtle minerality (limestone, chalky note). On the palate, the wine offers concentration, a beautiful structure and depth. The attack expresses roundness and freshness. We find notes of sweet and juicy stone fruits (yellow peach, apricot), lemon jam, a touch of lemon yogurt, lemon juice, quince jam, as well as herbaceous touches (fresh grass, mint), floral (dried field flowers, acacia) and mineral (chalk, a slight salinity), as well as the sweetness of the honey note in the background. The finish is long, fragrant, with a good bitterness (grapefruit, lime zest), a very fine touch of vanilla in the background and a refreshing acidity.
