Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 11/06/2023

L'Escale deserves a closer look at the profile of this great 2022 vintage: very Ligérien, with lots of freshness, but also, paradoxically, great substance and extraordinary ripeness. The result is a sunny, ripe white that harmoniously combines cheerful freshness, biting vivacity and the pure, concentrated fruit of Sauvignon, all of which are brought together in a light, crisp texture that carries the palate away in an invigorating burst that lengthens the incredibly refreshing finish. As for the flavors, which also generate juicy sensations of pleasure, we can count on the green of the granny smith, the well-dosed acidity of the yellow grapefruit, and finally the roundness and honeyed fatness of the rustic apricot from the Pyrénées-Orientales. All in all, a whirlwind of flavors enhanced by salty herbs! Add to this, finally, an Escale priced at less than €10, and you've got a few reasons to give many of its more expensive cousins from Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé a run for their money. A score of 4 for this total success. This stunning white was the ideal companion at 8° to cassolettes of Fouras bouchot mussels with saffron cream.
