Note di degustazione
The 2014 Clos Marsalette Blanc is laced with the essence of dried pear, chamomile and mint. Aging on the lees gives the wine its signature breadth and texture, along with a combination of intensity and freshness that is highly appealing.

The 2014 Clos Marsalette Blanc is intensely bright and pointed at this stage, with brilliant acidity the dominant element today. Lemon peel, flowers and green apples open up nicely, but the style remains focused, tense and also a bit unyielding.
The Clos Marsalette Blanc is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon picked September 11-12. Raised in 30% new oak, it has an attractive nose with apple blossom and lime. The palate feels just a little shrill on the entry with a twist of sour lemon segueing into a leesy finish. I hope that the barrel maturation will smooth down the edges here.
