Bright and mineral-driven with aromas of white flowers, green apple, and citrus zest. The palate shows crisp acidity with flavors of lemon, pear, and subtle notes of wet stone and hazelnut. Medium-bodied with excellent tension and precision, characteristic of the appellation's chalky terroir. The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering citrus and a delicate saline quality that adds complexity and length.
