Tasting notes

The robe is a light yellow with green reflections of a mild intensity. The disk is bright, limpid, transparent. The wine has a youthful quality.
The pleasant, marked and distinguished nose shows a dominant of candied scents, mango, passion fruits, citrus fruits, lemon, light spicy hint, ginger.
Airing opens up an exotic delight. The nose is fully dominated by mango, followed by all the scents mentioned above. The candied and exotic nose is exhilarating. Beautiful expression of Riesling.
The onset is tender and moderately full, with a heady alcoholic base. One evolves on a sharp medium, marked by very slight sparking note. The exquisite range of flavours displays mango, passion fruit, citrus fruits, lemon, white flesh fruits, peach, apricot, a spicy hint, ginger.
The finish offers a moderate length, 6 caudalie, and a marked vivacity.
The balance of the wine is a little heady, but the minerality of the great terroirs always guarantee a beautiful freshness.
The range of flavours is remarkable, dazzling.
