Tasting Notes

It is always the most delicate and most elegant wine. The nose is very open with notes of hazelnut and grilled almonds. First impression on the palate is generally supple and gourmand, with a certain opulence in warm years. It is a fine-bodied, ethereal wine carried by subtle acidity. Over time, its minerality is expressed through notes of chalk and flint with a light saline and sea air impact on the finish.
