Tasting notes

The colour is a bright, light yellow with silver nuances. The nose is opening on smoky notes, then is showing a large aroma complexity: white flowers and vineyard peach. The mouth is revealing a nice smoothness, richness with the volume of a concentrated wine, enlivened by a tension, chiseled and straight.

Decant and serve at 14°C to unveil all its secrets. A great partner with a paned octopus with tomatoes and fennel.
