Tasting Notes

Nose: "The initial expression is one marked by floral elegance with a fine touch of hazelnut and chestnut bread. With a racy aromatic profile and a chalky character, balanced and crystal clear (raw butter and pastry cream). An irresistible charm on airing, all wrapped up in the harmonious bond between terroir & vintage."

Palate: "A creamy tactile feel of beautifully focused finesse offering a full-bodied, delightful texture. Gorgeous refreshing balance with natural and baked goods flavors (puff pastry brioche, mirabelle plum tart, limoncello). This powerful, masterful yet slender wine extends its finish towards an aromatic persistence of unbelievable length (fresh mango, mandarin pulp and candied chestnuts)."
