Tasting Notes
Appearance:
The dress is light and crystalline, very pure with discreet green reflections.
Nose:
Rich and complex nose expressing the plurality of grape varieties. Exotic and citrus fruits blend with apricot and white peach with floral notes and white pepper.
Palate:
The mouth balances the expression of the fruit, the freshness and the roundness typical of our southern Côtes-du-Rhone. The delicate touch of bitterness in the final brings an extra dimension to the tasting, the touch!
Ratings & Reviews
"Some riper fruits here, moving through green-melon into light, white-peach aromas. The palate adds an edge of lemon. A smooth array of fleshy fruit to close. Drink now." - (8 Jul, 2018)
