Moulin de Gassac – Guilhem 2014 – Pays D’Hérault

Quite low colour intensity, pale straw yellow. Pure nose, good intensity and freshness, rather floral, with some yellow fruit hints, citrus, orange blossom, no new oak as far as I feel. Clean palate, fresh, acidity is medium but it’s vinified in a bone dry style, it feels rather like a wine from the South, with quite high ripeness of fruit, with those yellow fruity notes coming back, and quite floral yellow fruit, some notes of citrus. Rather full structure, there’s a hint of skin contact that gives a lift on the palate, what I call a balanced bitterness. Fresh and pure with generous fruit, aftertaste is on the medium side, medium towards long, quite good intensity and purity, nice and refreshing style, to drink rather young I would say.
