Tasting Notes
Notes of lime and orange blossoms abound alongside stony, nuanced mineral. There is a fullness here that is finely balanced by a graceful, delicate mint and sage freshness. This Clos du Bourg Demi Sec treads like a tightrope walker between citrus acidity and the sweet florals of honeysuckle. Complex and incredibly fine, this wine was made in minute quantities. What it lack for in quantity it more than makes up for in class.
Reviews & Scores
RS 19 g/l. Honey, apple, a tiny spicy note. Retains its fruit character more convincingly than the Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec. Excellent fruit clarity on the finish, with concentration to last. 13.5%. Drink 2018-2026
