Tasting notes

Fresh and chiseled, this single-plot cuvée combines fresh citrus aromas with delicate oak tannins. The finish reveals a surprise, with notes of caramel and flint. Pale golden colour, the first nose shows fresh citrus aromas, fine notes of ripe orange and attractive smoky notes of stoned fruits and fresh pebbles. On the palate, the attack is fresh with a beautiful amplitude highlighted by a very pleasant and expressive minerality. Some light and fine oak tannins notes are giving a nice structure to the wine. Long and frank finish with caramel and « gun stones » notes, typical of flint terroir.
