Château Saint Maur L’Excellence Cru Classé (White) 2025 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim
Very pale lemon yellow. Lots of garrigue and Sorrento lemons on the nose, alongside perfumed, citrussy hints of menthol, eucalyptus, and slightly herbal aromas. The palate shows pretty freshness, yellow peach, and hints of exotic fruit. with weighty ripe fruit balanced by a very fine linear minerality, giving length and elegance, backed by very fresh acidity. Lovely concentration and exceptionally charming. A pleasure to drink, refreshing and elegant.
