Tasting notes
Bright, very limpid pale golden yellow color. White flowers, apricot, white peaches. Powerful and elegant aromatic intensity. Freshness, roundness, richness and fat on the palate. Assertive expression of the terroir. Very great finesse and great freshness. Harmony between a pleasant low acidity and a fruit that bathes in a fleshy roundness. This wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to foie gras, scrambled truffles, delicate fish.
