Rijckaert – Vieilles Vignes 2017 – Mâcon Fuissé

The nose is fruity, fresh, well-built and offers a very fine concentration. It reveals notes of quince, ripe lemon and small notes of juicy plum associated with slight touches of orange blossom as well as discreet hints of racy minerality and an imperceptible hint of spices. The palate is fruity, gourmande, elegant, well-built, racy and offers a beautiful definition, a beautiful finesse / elegance, a fine richness / unctuousity as well as a beautiful grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy quince, crushed mirabelle plum and small notes of crushed brugnon associated with slight touches of exotic fruits, butter and a subtle hint of vanilla. Good length. There is a hint of almond / nuts on the finish / persistence.
