Pale lemon color, with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and herbs. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach and citrus with floral notes and slight spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity ending with lemon citrus and stony herb mineral spice.

The 2019 Jean Claude Dagueneau “Domaine des Berthiers” pours a straw color with a slightly watery rim; medium viscosity no signs of particle or gas. On the nose, #flint4dayz, grapefruit, tangerine, asparagus, lemon. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid; confirming the fruit and non-fruit characteristics. The texture is super creamy no-doubt due to lees. The finish is medium+. Drinking well now with a little air but would no doubt hold for 3-5 years with ease…but why?

This has incredible aromas of hay, grapefruit, quince, and flint. Very good acidity and suited to pair with oysters, light fish, and salads. This is a welcome addition to a hot Mid-Atlantic day and the start of the weekend!
