    Domaine des Hauts Traversiers L’Espuol (White) 2022 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Pale lemon yellow. Very aromatic and perfumed on the nose with slightly floral, herbal garrigue notes, saline freshness and a very dark minerality. The palate shows some nice elegant freshness, vibrant yellow stone fruit, fresh apricots and a tiny hint of lees and creaminess. Good length, but it is a little blunt on the mid-palate with lots of glycerol and round, ripe, opulent stone fruit that feels slightly at odds with the saline freshness of the nose. Its main charm is the intriguing aromatics at the beginning, showing typical ripeness but feeling a little disjointed and simple.
