General Blanc 2022
Region: Vins de Corse
Producer: Domaine Abbatucci
To the eye, this wine is limpid and brilliant, yellow in color with golden highlights. On the nose, various floral aromas unfold in successive waves: lime blossom, violet and daffodil, followed by delicate marine notes evoking sea spray and shellfish. Then come scents of wild mint and fennel, as well as fruit such as yellow plum and guava.On the palate, the attack is lively and straightforward, well balanced by the silky, full, velvety touch of this solar vintage. The mid-palate and finish are invigorating, well-balanced with the fullness of the fruity side, complex and subtle, carried by flavors of spice and candied citrus zest. The saline, delicately bitter minerality shines through and makes this wine persistent.
