Tasting Notes

Colour
The pale yellow colour of this wine reflects almond green and jade hues.

Nose

• First nose : intense aromas of fresh fruit emerge: ripe lemon, juicy pear or freshly picked peach.
• Second nose: more floral and elegant, it reveals scents of magnolia, accompanied by a spicy note of ginger and pink berries.

Mouthfeel
Do you notice the singular and harmonious texture that envelops the palate, between tension and roundness? This is underlined by a lively aromatic freshness of ripe citrus and exotic fruits. The final mineral touch is long and delicate.
