Lagrave-Martillac White

2021 is a year that was characterized by complex climatic conditions.
The very wet winter gave way to a particularly dry beginning of spring, with only 20mm of precipitation per month in March and April, compared to the usual 70mm. April was marked by several very cold nights, between April 6 and 19, with numerous frost events. The flowering, at the beginning of June, was particularly homogeneous. The summer was relatively cool, with the exception of a heat wave at the end of July and the on 15th of August, leading to a slight delay in the veraison.
The white harvest started rather late compared to previous years, on September 9, and ended on
September 21 with a yield that was finally higher than in 2020.

Tasting notes
The Lagrave-Martillac white 2021 has a clear and bright color with beautiful pale green reflections. The nose opens wit aromas of citrus, fresh white fruits, jasmine and acacia. The mouth reveals a remarkable freshness, underlined by pleasant notes of grapefruit, and develops in richness and unctuousness around yellow flesh fruits and exotic fruits. The finish is tasty. To be consumed within 3 to 5 years.
