Winemaker tasting notes

Nose: "The wine is subtle and fresh on the nose. The initial mineral aromas quickly give way to green and then floral notes with the fragrance of elderflowers and spicy cinnamon undertones."

Palate: "The entry onto the palate is clean and lively, dominated by very exceedingly fresh citrus notes. These segue into much fuller, rounder and silkier flavors where white peaches in syrup predominate. The finish is rich, lingering and bursting with flavor. Prelude Grands Crus is a joyous blend of finesse and complexity. Its balance of freshness and aromatic expression is outstanding."
