Georges Descombes Beaujolais Blanc 2018

This wine made me really take note this year; I learned it’s from fruit harvested in the northern part of Beaujolais (Pruzy, near Saint-Verand) near the frontier with the Maconnais. In a way this is Georges take on what could almost be a Macon Blanc and it is certainly better than any other Beaujolais Blanc I have had before. A very fine nose of green apple and peach skin leads into a fresh, mouthwatering palate where the fine and succulent acidity gently caresses and supports the wine towards the elegant mineral finish. A lovely discreet wine that finishes soft and very pretty. Georges is a powerful, powerful personality and this is definitely his most subtle wine and,  for this wine, that is a very good thing.
