Description
Here is an exceptional white wine crafted by Olivier Pithon in the heart of the finest schist-covered slopes bordering the D18. Its complexity and aromatic intensity are extraordinary. White fruits, candied citrus, and gentle spices. A distinct minerality lends the palate great depth and a mouth-watering appeal. The finesse and length are underpinned on the finish by delicate bitter notes (hazelnut, almond). What a wine!
