Owner's words
The nose is intense and expressive, blending notes of white peach, citrus, and white flowers. The attack is lively, and the palate is full-bodied and flavorful, supported by the generous texture of the Sémillon. The fresh, well-integrated acidity guides the tasting toward a long, pure, and elegant finish. This vintage combines aromatic complexity, freshness, and harmony, and promises a bright future as a cellaring wine.
