Note di degustazione
Lemon oil, crushed mint, white flowers and hazelnuts introduce Guiberteau’s 2020 Brézé, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and rich white that’s broad and enveloping with a fleshy core of fruit. Long, ethereal and mineral, the finish is underlined by delicate notes of spices and caramel. Crafted from vines planted on three different plots, it matured for two years in half new/half used barrels.

Based on previous vintages, it shouldn't be, but there's a question mark here. Note that the wines poured had been opened for more than five days and were tasting as they were meant to be...
