Aussières Blanc 2023 has a rich, complex nose in which one finds notes of flowers (lily of the valley, broom), patisserie (butter, brioche), ripe fruit (apricots) and honey. On the palate, the attack is round, and the wine has a lively, fresh character. There is the minerality that also constitutes Aussières Blanc’s identity, and which here underscores a broad palette of fruity (tart apple, cider apple), and sweet dessert notes. A hint of freshly grated hazelnut brings the wine to a very harmonious finish.
