Joseph Mellot : La Grande Châtelaine 2018

Notes of mandarin and candied citrus zest on the nose and palate; the palate is full, with just the right drive from the mid-palate, and a welcome caillottes finish.

Fermented in wood, this wine is rich, powered with mango and peach flavors and ripe with warm fruitiness. Acidity comes through to keep freshness and intensity. The wine still has plenty of life ahead, although it can be drunk now.
