Château de Fosse-Sèche Saumur Blanc Arcane 2013




All that sugar residue, has left a bad taste in my mouth ...
Sorry because, after all, would not have been too bad this Chenin Blanc, organically grown.

It attacks with a clear hint of citrus, most moved on citrines tones, followed by ripe yellow fruit - peach and apricot - acacia, a drizzle of honey, yellow floral touches, by not compelling mineral profile.

The palate is soft, too soft, so that the acidity is not sufficient to counteract the sugar exuberance. The result is a drink that reflects, in part, the olfactory impressions, crushed as it is by that elevated residue, which deprives the drink of that tension, that vibrates, usually I have met in this variety.

If the Chenin missing the right degree of acidity, little remains and, in this case, this is not a moelleux wine.

So, malheureusement, monotonous bowl, which lacks momentum and balance.
