Sancerre Le Cul de Beaujeu (Magnum) 2013 François Cotat
冷たい石灰が貫く、サンセールのマグナム。
ソーヴィニヨン・ブラン100%のサンセールを、マグナムで。黄金がかった淡い麦わら色から、熟した白桃や黄桃、メロンや青リンゴの皮に、冷たい石灰岩由来のチョーキーなミネラル香が包み込むように立ち上がります。シャープで生き生きとした酸に、グリーンアーモンドのほろ苦さと塩気を帯びたミネラルが芯を成し、潮のニュアンスが長く続きます。ホタテのソテーや牡蠣のグリルとともに。
Tasting note
Pale straw color with a golden hue. The aroma that rises from the clear glass is a moist, enveloping aroma of ripe white and yellow peaches, as well as fresh melon and green apple skin, and a chalky mineral aroma derived from the cold limestone. As the glass swirls, subtle nuances of white flowers (acacia and gorse) emerge, adding complexity and depth to the palate. The first impression on the palate is a sharp, lively acidity. Citrus peel (the white part of grapefruit), the bittersweetness of green almonds, and a salty mineral structure form the core. The fruitiness is reminiscent of peach and ripe pear, and the texture is slightly rounded yet maintains a slender impression. Towards the end, the aftertaste develops a hint of seawater, likely derived from seashells, and a lingering smoky lime finish, leaving a refreshing, relaxed feel even after swallowing.

This white wine is impressive for its rich minerality and lively acidity. The aroma of ripe citrus fruits and apples is layered with nuances of white flowers and light herbs, and the supple, rounded body spreads in the mouth. The refreshing minerality that lingers on the long finish makes this a wine that will add a touch of elegance to your dinner table.
