Domaine Richeaume Tradition (White)
More from this producer: Domaine Richeaume
2024
Very pale gold. Hints of honeysuckle. Beautifully creamy and rich. Malo quite evident against a backdrop of pretty floral perfume. A tiny hint of sugar balancing subtle phenolics - in 2024, the tank didn't ferment dry, and Richeaume is precisely the sort of producer to bottle a vintage-led wine. Salty toffee richness. Very yummy - but exceptionally atypical.
