The 2016 Les Maillerettes is very fragrant. Fruity aromas on the nose, accompanied by hints of spice and notes of chalk.On the palate the wine is fresh, saline, persistent.
Reviews:
- Wine & Spirits: This wine is monumental, its stark acidity completely cloaked in fresh apple and pear-like fruit. There’s a hint of tannins from the pinot noir grape skins, and a touch of bitterness to balance the sweetness of the fruit, bringing out a brisk minerality that corrals the broad flavors of the wine and holds them tense.
