Domaine La Croix Mélier - Montlouis sur Loire Les Outardes 2019 (demi-sec)
2*Étoiles
Hachette
Aged for nine months in barrels, this wine, named in honor of the migratory birds that sometimes nest on the plot, has a deep straw yellow color and impeccable clarity. The expressive nose is reminiscent of peach and quince, with floral scents and some more vegetal notes. The palate is long and balanced, with exotic fruit flavors leading to a citrus-oriented finish. True to the appellation, this semi-dry wine came close to being a favorite."(Le Guide Hachette 2022)
