Owner's words
Intense fruity brilliance, elegant and very complex. Fresh fragrances of citrus, herbs, and spring white flowers (hawthorn, acacia, elderflower) envelop the concentrated and very fresh white fruits (vine peach, nectarine, pear, passion fruit...) in a delicate manner. On the palate, this wine unfolds with distinguished elegance. Its richness and caressing texture, elegantly poised, are adorned with the wild flavors of the terroir. Beautiful floral bitters encase the juicy maturity of this blend. The acidic balance vibrates through the ensemble. The flavor radiance is intense, showcasing elegance and purity. Endless finish...
