Domaine des Mariniers
2022
Yellow with emphatic green hints. Intense and fresh citrus base verging on aniseed. Slightly mineral to highlight the whole. A delicately chiseled palate. A mineral signature adds precision to an array of citrus notes featuring bergamot orange and lemon. A lovely salinity lends freshness and precision to this wine.
