Taste profile

On the nose, this cuvée offers a rich palette of aromas: stone fruit (pear, apricot, peach), dried red fruit, honey and citrus, with a background of subtle brioche and white flowers. On the palate, the attack is juicy, carried by measured acidity and a fine, silky mousse, before finishing with a saline, mineral and persistent finish.
