The 2018 Foncalielu Petit Paradis Saint Chinian opens with quite an inviting aroma of honeysuckle and a little tropical fruit.
Tasking a sip reveals lots of tasty fruit in this smooth and refreshing wine. It's not terribly complex but it is easy to drink. There's lots of apple along with a bit of tropical fruit. Light honey accents and just a hint of nutty note lead into the dry, short finish.
