Nose: An aristocratic, fresh, and generous bouquet. A rich palette of ripe white-fleshed and tropical fruits stands out, such as golden apple, pear, pineapple, and melon. As it opens, it reveals citrus hints of lemon zest, floral notes of orange blossom, and a softly elegant background that evokes brioche bread and fine calcareous minerals.
Palate: Pleasant entry, unctuous with a very enveloping silky texture. On the palate, it is strictly dry, with a crisp acidity that perfectly balances its body and medium unctuousness. It unfolds harmoniously with intense fruity notes. The finish is clean, refined, and persistent, leaving a subtle and inviting touch of citrus and minerals.
