Vignobles Fraigneau – Mourlanne 2022 – Graves

The nose is well-built, intense, with a certain power and depth. It reveals notes of ripe citrus, fairly ripe nectarine and small notes of smoke, associated with touches of sweet pepper, as well as fine hints of nutmeg and a discreet note of almost verbena and acacia leaf. A subtle touch almost evoking of fig milk. The palate is well-built, supple, aerial, elegant, nicely pure and defined, with suppleness and roundness. It offers elegantly fat, delicate and clear. In mouth this wine expresses notes of kumquat, pulpy brugnon and small notes of crushed nectarine, associated with touches of mandarin, as well as fine hints of acacia, a subtle touch of nutmeg and a discreet, almost honeyed hint in the background. Good length, with a discreet tannic side on finish/persistence. Beautifull gourmandise and a certain chewiness on the finish/persistence, with a hint of dried almond.
