Golden yellow robe with green reflections making it radiant. The bright and clear appearance suggests a young wine.
The nose is at first slow, releasing a few notes of fresh citrus zest. After oxygenation, it then expresses its personality through aromas marked with fruits such as white peach flesh, completed with iodized fragrances bringing complexity.
On the palate, the onset is frank introducing a precise dry wine. Its freshness, tense and just right, creates the structure of this very pure wine. We discover the scent of jasmine flowers and the aromatic force of grapefruit flesh that then leads to an intense iodized salinity. Its finish of 7 to 8 caudalies is based on noble bitter notes revealing a saline finish.
A wine that can be decanted to bring out its full potential.
