Domaine de Grange Neuve Monbazillac 2022 500ml Description
On the nose, this wine reveals layers of honeyed stone fruit, candied citrus peel, and subtle floral notes with hints of vanilla and toasted almond. The bouquet develops beautifully, offering glimpses of dried apricot and a whisper of botrytis complexity.
The palate is opulent yet balanced, with the promised orange marmalade and ripe apricots taking centre stage alongside nectarine and peach. A distinctive bitter orange note emerges mid-palate, providing elegant contrast to the wine's natural sweetness. The acidity cuts through cleanly, preventing any cloying sensation and lending freshness throughout.
The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of candied citrus, dried stone fruit, and a pleasant mineral undertone. The wine's structure suggests excellent ageing potential, though it drinks beautifully now.
500ml
Best served chilled as an aperitif or paired with blue cheese, foie gras, or light desserts featuring citrus or stone fruit.
