Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
This exceptional cuvée, both silky and indulgent, blends aromas of flowers such as lemon blossom and elderflower on the nose. These aromas are highlighted by deeper notes of Granny Smith apple and vine peach. On the palate, the attack is lively and slender, focused on citrus aromas that give it a beautiful tension. This cuvée reconnects with a fresher balance, well-nourished by careful ageing in the undergrowth. A delicate texture supported by beautiful bitterness, which will require time to fully blossom.
