Les Noëls de Montbenault 2022 Richard Leroy

Les Noels de Montbenault 2022

切れ味とふくらみが同居する、シュナン。

シュナン・ブラン100%から生まれた、輝きのある淡いレモンイエローの白。白梨や青りんごのフレッシュな果実香の背後に、白い花とレモンピール、シルキーな鉱物感が静かに広がります。ひんやりとした切れ味のあるアタックから、グレープフルーツや黄桃のふくよかな厚みへ。ミネラルが骨格を与え、ほのかな塩気とともに長いフィニッシュ。帆立貝のポワレとともに。

Tasting note

Bright pale lemon yellow. When you tilt the glass, the first thing that comes to mind is the fresh fruity aroma of white pear and green apple, followed by white flowers (lily of the valley and white peach petals), lemon peel, and a silky minerality that quietly spreads out. When you put it in your mouth, the cool, sharp attack gradually gives way to the richness of the fruit, and the nuances of grapefruit and yellow peach carry over into a pleasant aftertaste. The minerals give it a solid structure, and the finish is long and lingering with a slight saltiness. An elegant piece with a crystalline texture.
