Château de Lacroux 2020 Vigne de Maurival

Mauzac (Gaillac-Premières-Côtes)

Fresh on the nose with succulent aromas of apricot and Comice pear, this wine is expressive from the start. The impressively clean fruit and dynamic mineral edge give it noticeable energy. The divinely custardy palate gives this midweight wine additional heft. Supported by discreet yet well-placed acidity, the palate glides into a moderate, lightly beeswax-esque finish with tree blossom top notes. Incredibly distinct, this lively, fresh wine shows pedigree even at this youthful stage. Drink now–2023.
