I know a lot of this is about the winemaking style, but it’s a style I love
Les Eminades ‘Montmajou’ St Chinian Blanc 2012, Languedoc, France (£15-£15.50 Cambridge Wine Merchants, Aubert & Mascoli)
Is it minerality or is it sulphur-related? Probably a bit of both, this has quite exotic pear, peach and quince flavours but there’s also a savoury briny tension. Packed with flavour but finishes lean and appetising. Delicious, but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. S+
