The colour is pale yellow with clear reflections of good intensity. The disc is shiny, limpid and transparent. The wine presents youth.
The nose is frank, pleasant, of medium intensity. Subtle, we perceive fine scents of white fruits, apple, yellow fruits, quince and honey. Aeration amplifies these odours and reveals the fine vegetal, fennel, flowers, acacia and orgeat.
The odour profile, very elegant, presents a delicate register. Complex and refined, it provides great pleasure.
The attack on the palate is slender, mellow, the alcohol support is balanced.
We evolve on a strict medium, marked by pearling. We find the range of aromas of the nose, it is reminiscent of apple, quince, fennel, acacia, orgeat and honey.
We feel a slight bitterness. The finish has a good length, 9-10 caudalies, as well as a frank vivacity and a fine persistent bitterness.
The balance is delicious. The initial softness is perfectly balanced by a superb freshness. The range of aerial aromas is a delight.
Superb success.
