Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DOMAINE DES TILLEULS |
Very pale straw colour. Very slightly spicy, faintly tinny, leesy, dried apple-lemon nose. Very dry, medium-light bodied, tangy, slightly leesy, apple-lemon flavours with a crisp, somewhat austere finish. According to the LCBO website this 100% Melon de Bourgogne has 11.7% alcohol (12% on the label) and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L016 on the back label. Not a detour at the price. |

TASTING NOTE: It's the old vines that are behind the concentration of this wine. It is rich, tight and dry with a really crisp texture and strong minerality. The acidity and the great lemon and grapefruit flavors are delicious and refreshing. Give this wine another few months for the best effect and drink from 2018. Editors' Choice.
