Tasting: Satiny, bright and clear color. The first nose affirms the maturity of the grapes with notes of white peach, acacia flowers, verbena, limestone, brioche, toasted wood. On aeration: hazelnut, grilled almond, pear, lemon, dried apricot, some pineapple accents. The contact in the palate is supple and fresh. The wine develops a pulpy and coated fruity material, supported by a delicate and well-integrated lemony acidity. The mid-palate is orchestrated by a minerality dominated by limestone which gives frankness, iodized salinity and length to the palate. The pulpy finish is generous, perfumed and fruity.
