Tasting Notes

Nose: "It is powerful and complex on the palate, revealing a mixture of yellow fruit (mirabelle plum), juicy, ripe fruits (nectarine),citrus peel (candied orange) and finely-roasted nuts(hazelnut). The nose is simultaneously powdery and sweet, with elegant, chalky notes."

Palate: "It is gentle, tactile and full-bodied on the palate. The bubbles create a gentle, vibrating sensation, then the wine becomes soft, dense and juicy. But it is the chalky freshness that quickly sets the tone: the sweetness becomes energetic and intense, giving the wine an elegant yet powerful texture. Fine, textured tannins reveal a poised and vinous dimension to the wine. The finish is savory and saline."
