Les Haldes de Luchey white 2019

Winter was particularly mild, leading to an early budburst. The cooler start of spring slowed down the vine cycle. The flowering at the beginning of June took place in cool weather but was uniform. Summer was exceptionally hot and accompanied by rainy episodes in July, August and early September. These conditions were favorable to a very good maturity and brought freshness and aromatic power. The colour is pale yellow with green reflections. It has a mineral nose with notes of blackcurrant buds. On the palate, the attack is supple and is accompanied by notes of vine peach, citrus and acacia flowers. The beautiful balance between richness and acidity enhances s a long and elegant finish. The harvest is done by hand with two passages per plot, followed by vinification entirely in barrels, 20% of which are new. The wine is then aged for 12 months in barrels on its lees with regular stirring.
