Tasting
This Clauzots Blanc 2022 is in line with the great vintages of Graves wines such as 2010 or 2015. Pure and tasty are the key words of this 2022.
Visual appearance
Bright and brilliant colour, very light shade with very pale yellow shades & green reflections. Very nice colour, refined.
At nose
The nose offers a remarkable complexity between delicacy, elegance and depth. The intensity of the floral and fruity aromas is melted into sweeter notes of spices and brioche. Very tasty, this nose gives great prospects for the rest of the tasting!
On the palate
The intensity and expression of the fruity and floral fragrances offer an incredible minerality to the wine. The mid-palate is perfectly balanced, full of greediness and smoothness. The tasting concludes with a delicate finish with melted notes of white-fleshed fruit.
Classic food and wine pairings
Cheese, White meat
