Note di degustazione
49% Chenin Blanc, 9% Clairette Blanche, 8% Sémillon, 7% Grenache Blanc, 7% Roussanne, 6% Verdelho, 6% Viognier, 4% Marsanne and 4% Colombard. This reminds of star fruit, and maybe jackfruit – quite esoteric; tropical but not not too ripe. There's creaminess and toasty character here, and a long, oatmeal-type finish. (RH)

Orchard fruit but not in an excessive way, in fact this is more mineral than fruity, with petrichor and granitic complexity. (RH)
Starting with a broad and waxy nose of elegant yellow apples, sweet citrus and plum blossom, the 2021 Aristargos is delightful and intricate in the glass. Medium-bodied, the mouthfeel is enticing with the flavors of Meyer lemon and spiced white tea, while displaying a dusty mineral tension that evolves over the long, spicy and complex finish. It’s a brilliantly layered wine that will remain food-friendly for years to come.
The 2021 Aristargos is a blend of 17 parcels built around 49% Chenin Blanc with a little skin contact, aged for 11 months in used French barrels and some foudre . It has a well-defined bouquet with oily, resinous scents, something almost Germanic here. The palate is very well balanced with a touch of spice on the entry, fine acidity, orange rind and fennel towards the appealing finish. Just a lovely, quite cerebral wine.
