TASTING
• Eye : The colour is gold silken yellow. Nice effervescence
making a nice string of foam.
• Nose : The nose is dense into a universe of pastries,
freshly baked bread, and croissant with almonds. Then the
expression of maturity comes with notes of candied fruits
(pineapple and yellow fruits) and smoky nuances of fresh
peat, tea, dark rum and tobacco. Complexity worth wines of
blending, the unexpected expression of Chardonnay.
• Palate : The palate offers some nice energy with a broad
aromatic palette. Maturity is present with bergamot tea
and a spicy-fruity dimension onto candied citrus (cinnamon,
clove, orange, yellow lemon and grapefruit). Some touches of
chlorophyll and anise recall the freshness of Chardonnay.
