Owner's words
Bright color, pale gold with almond green glints. On the nose, great freshness, very pure, lively, refined and complex. The fruity aromas offer citrus zest as well as fresh white-fleshed fruits, ripe but not excessively. The vineyard peach is fully expressed. On the white flower side, we find hawthorn, linden and acacia flower. This bouquet, racy and seductive, reveals mineral and saline fragrances, quartz, gunflint, signature of our gravelly soils. The palate is juicy, dense, suave, silky and very delicate. The superb acid tension perfectly structures this wine and gives it great freshness. The purity of the flavors brings out a finish of great elegance. Impeccable balance, classic style.
