Tasting Notes for 2020 Domaine Prieuré-Roch Dessus les Gollardes

The wine opens with a dazzling bouquet of lemon oil, white orchard peach, crisp pear, and crushed flint smoke. Furthermore, delicate accents of roasted almond, chamomile, wet chalk, and subtle sea spray unfurl as the wine breathes. On the palate, laser-like acidity cuts through a textured, focused core of citrus and stony minerality. Consequently, the finish reverberates with unforgettable saline persistence, crystalline purity, and flinty drive.
