Préface de La Brande 2024 – Vin de France

The nose is fresh, mineral, racy, floral and aromatic. It offers seduction, juiciness, gourmandise and has a lovely 3D, almost pellicular side. It also presents an enchanting, energetic and delicate side. It reveals notes of kumquat, small yellow fruits and small notes of dried orange peel, associated with touches of apricot blossom, a pellicular side and a discreet hint of almond. The palate is beautifully fresh, mineral, juicy, tangy, energetic, gourmand and elegant. It presents tension, precision and energy. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/bright kumquat, small bright yellow fruits and small notes of quince, associated with touches of juicy apricot, as well as fine hints of orange peel, mandarin, of almost toasted beeswax (from the grape, not the barrel) and a subtle hint of bitter almond. A wine which presents good work on the right bitters and offers gourmandise and elegance. See Merlot Blanc. Nicely fresh, mineral, iodized, with almost a discrete pearly side in the background. Good length. A subtle hint of hay, almost gooseberry. A subtle hint of almost dried kumquat peel. A pure, chiselled nose with a lovely work on the good bitterness.
