“Les Princes Abbès” Riesling

TASTING NOTES

he robe is pale yellow with green reflections of medium intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth.
The nose is marked, pleasant and of good intensity. We perceive a dominant of fruity scents, citrus fruits, lime, spices, ginger, white pepper and delicate vegetal. The airing enhances these scents and reveals yuzu zest, acid candy and white flowers. The ripe healthy grapes give it a very fresh and precise definition. Beautiful nose.
The onset in the mouth is ample, dense. The alcohol support is balanced. The wine evolves on a medium of maarked vivacity, with a sparkling note. We find the same aromas as on the nose, dominated by citrus fruits, yuzu, orange zest, spices, white pepper, ginger and white flowers. The finish has a good length, 7-8 caudalies, and a frank and persistent liveliness. Very nice balance, typical of the Riesling, marked by a precise and chiseled nervousness. The range of flavors is perfect. Very beautiful wine !
