rich

"A wine with a discreet nose of yellow and exotic fruits, supple and fresh on the attack, richer and honeyed in its development. A fine personality." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) Nestled between richness and crisp minerality, this wine envelops us in notes of yellow fruit and ripe apple. The acidity provides an essential contrast and the right balance for this more than refined wine.

About the wine:

A wine with a discreet nose of yellow and exotic fruits, supple and fresh on the attack, richer and honeyed in its development. A fine personality.

About the domain :

Dom. de la Croix Senaillet was founded in 1969 by Maurice Martin, who gradually abandoned mixed farming in favor of vines. In 1990, his son Richard took over the family estate, before being joined by his brother Stéphane in 1992. The property, initially 6.5 ha, has grown to 25 ha today, spread over 52 parcels that have been certified organic since 2010. Building on their experience, in 2015 the brothers acquired Dom. de Mont Épin in Clessé (13 ha).

About the wine:

Richly fruity, with ripe red apple flavors, this wine is between richness and crisp minerality. The acidity provides an essential contrast to the full fruitiness. Drink from 2020.
