Château de Myrat 2024

Subtle on the nose, delicate floral notes, citrus fruits, orange blossom; sweet attack, the acidity is almost somewhat restrained this year, flower honey and bitter almonds on the retro-aroma.

Cloudy yellow-gold in the glass, with a floral yet slightly yeasty, muted nose. Round and creamy on the palate, with good acidity and a chalky texture. Shows candied citrus, apricot, and prominent botrytis, though lacking a touch of purity. Lighter than usual, but fresh and charming. A finesse-driven wine with almost immediate appeal. 128g/l residual sugar.

Delicately sappy aromas open on a fresh, tender nose, even with the oak clearly present. Ripe pear, white peach and lychee add complexity. Driven by tension, the palate is all freshness, with a crystalline, bright edge. The sweetness fades into notes of white-fleshed fruit, jasmine and chamomile. Light without being thin, the texture stretches languorously into the finish. Superb!

The nose is fresh, racy, taut, precise, airy, and offers a lovely racy, gravelly grain with a delicate spicy edge. It reveals notes of pulpy yellow apple, small candied yellow fruits and, more subtly, mirabelle plum jam, combined with hints of flint, as well as discreet touches of spice and a subtle almond note. The palate is beautifully handled, fruity, tangy, and juicy. It offers accuracy, a fresh backbone, acidity, good definition, elegance, and a fine, well-judged tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy yellow apple, crushed nectarine and, more delicately, candied mirabelle, combined with touches of candied quince, as well as a hint of exotic fruits, crystallized mandarin, and flint. Good length. A precise, fresh wine with a subtle vanilla and iodized touch on the finish.
