2018 | Château d'Aiguilhe | Blanc

Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Delicate lime zest and green apple on the nose with smoky minerality in the background. Juicy palate, yellow tropical fruit, subtle hints of papaya and passion fruit, elegant and long with a touch of sweetness on the finish. A versatile food wine showing some development, but with certain ageing potential.
