Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Pale gold with subtle green highlights; bright and youthful.

Nose:
Fragrant and layered, offering ripe pear, white peach, lemon cream, and green apple. Complexity builds with notes of honeysuckle, acacia blossom, and a touch of fresh hazelnut, toasted brioche, and wet stone. Very elegant and expressive.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with excellent concentration and finesse. A core of citrus and stone fruit is complemented by a creamy texture and vibrant acidity. The minerality from the Combets terroir shows through clearly, adding lift and definition. Subtle, well-integrated oak provides gentle spice and roundness.

Finish:
Long, polished, and finely sculpted, with lingering notes of citrus zest, almond, and flinty salinity.
