Tasting Notes for 2019 Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau En Chailloux

The wine opens with crystalline aromas of pink grapefruit, green apple, gunflint, lemongrass, and white peach. Furthermore, subtle hints of lemon verbena, crushed gravel, and river stones expand with aeration. On the palate, a chiseled, oily texture drives forward with explosive citrus energy and textural tension.
