Laurent Miquel Solas Albariño 2022

‘The idea was to create something really fresh, mineral and crisp, and get the purity of Albariño,’ says Laurent Miquel, and he’s done just that. From his plots of Albariño planted at some 200m on limestone in the Corbières. This vintage shows a peachy outline to the citrus fruit: bright lemon zest punches through a saline finish. Refreshing and drinkable. Drinking window: 2023-2025. Score – 90. (Natalie Earl, decanter.com, Dec. 1, 2023)
