Tasting Notes
Crystal-clear, straw yellow in color with a moderately golden texture, of good consistency.
On the nose the range of its aromas is quite complex, intense and of fine quality. Light floral note reminiscent of a freshly composed bouquet of white flowers, followed by a scent of fruity scents: ripe golden apple, yellow peach and apricot. Closing with a delicate citrus nuance.
On the palate the sample is fresh, perfectly balanced in its parts. Freshness and acidity invite you to repeat the sip. Persistent with a peach aftertaste.
A traditional white wine, which tells the story of the territory and its people.
Tried in combination with a turbot millefeuille.
