Tasting

Its colour is a golden green, and its fragrance is steadied by notes of honey, yellow flowers, lime blossom and acacia. On the palate, it is reminiscent of fresh butter sprinkled with fleur de sel, with a precise, enveloping juice. Spherical, it contains everything: fruit, a fine texture, amplitude, mineral precision, and structured length. Upon opening, it evolves towards light bitters and candied lemon  flavours. It plays in the major wine classes.
