Chateau de Pizay Beaujolais Blanc 2023 750ml

Details

The Beaujolais Blanc appellation represents less than 5% of Beaujolais production. Its rich and deep gold coat is haloed with green reflections. The aromatic opening settles on fresh nuances of green tea, almost minty. Candied citrus fruits follow: caramelized pineapple; a zest of orange, bitter perhaps. elicate woody background, without a toasted mask, scents of propolis, beeswax mixed with blond honey, acacia and spring flowers come back fresh. On the palate, the attack is precise, supple, soothing. It is followed by a nice balance in the mid-palate, fat, almost saline, melting, with nuances of blond tobacco. The tension that sustains the whole taste system then manifests itself to install a long finish that elegantly fades into tenderness.
