The wine has a crystalline aspect with a greenish tint. The complex and varied nose reveals intense aromas of acacia blossom enhanced with honeyed pear and citrus notes. With airing, it expresses perfectly ripe fruit mingled with spicy and white pepper notes. The fresh and crisp attack leads into a full and succulent mid-palate. Lime flavors dominated by generous, tangy fruit give a certain tension to the wine, which ends on notes of patisserie and flaky pastry. The long and elegant finish lingers on a thoroughly mineral freshness.
A reassuring return to form after a lesser 2017, the 2018 Limoux Chardonnay combines classy notes of pencil shavings with hints of toasted hazelnut and white peaches on the nose. It's medium-bodied, poised and elegant, with just enough custardy richness and generosity to balance the ripe, mouthwatering acids that linger refreshingly on the finish.
