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.
