"A refined, elegant nose with notes of ripe pear, a hint of mango and warm stone. On the palate, it is round and ripe, with richness and body, yet also a distinct freshness. Well-balanced, with a finish marked by a noble astringency."

Description

The pale gold colour displays a beautiful brilliance. The nose is refined and elegant, characterised by minerality, acacia, notes of warm stone and a hint of exoticism (passion fruit, mango). On the palate, it is round and ripe, with richness and body, yet also a distinct freshness. The overall impression is truly delicious, and the balance is remarkable.
