Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

• • A delicate and ample wine, easy to appreciate.
  • The pale yellow color is very pure, with light green reflections.
  • On the nose, floral aromas of acacia harmonize with vegetal notes of fern and coriander.
  • The aromas on the nose are amplified when the wine is in the mouth, together with new notes of orange or lemon marmalade.
  • It has a soft, round, well balanced body.
  • The aromas of fruit are enhanced by intense mineral notes evolving towards a slightly smoky flavor. Beautiful length on the aftertaste.

Serving Temperature:

• • 55°F.

Cellaring:

• • 5 to 15 years.
