Estate Notes: A pale yellow colour, Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec 2022 presents an open nose on white flowers and citrus fruits, then with aeration it evolves towards notes of passion fruit and a mineral touch. The attack is round and fresh, the delicious mid-palate reveals notes of pink pomelo, pear and roasted hazelnut. The finish is persistent with aromas of hazelnut, pear and a marked saline side. The character of the cuvée shines through with generosity and a great freshness.
