Jean-Jacques Vincent Julienas Domaine le Cotoyon 2017

Bright straw-yellow. Very ripe, expressive aromas of nectarine, orange juice and hazelnut; showing much more oak influence than the Combettes. Rich and spicy on the palate, delivering a savory umami quality but less clarity to its stone fruit and soft citrus flavors.

Le Clos is extraordinarily rich with layer upon layer of ripe apple, pair, and spice. The finish is driven by mineral with a firm gripping acidity.
