Blanc Monbazillac AOC 0,375 l - Domaine de Montlong

The barrel-aged Blanc Monbazillac from the Sud-Ouest wine-growing region offers a bright pale yellow in the glass. The nose of this Domaine de Montlong dessert wine shows all sorts of guava, pineapple, physalis, plums and mangoes. As if that wasn't already impressive, brittle, roasted almond and toasted hazelnut join the mix due to the aging in small wooden barrels.

On the palate, the texture of this balanced dessert wine is wonderfully dense. On the finish, this dessert wine from the Sud-Ouest wine-growing region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of papaya and guava appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by clay and limestone are added.
