Tasting notes
- Appearance: pale straw with a fine, persistent mousse.
- Nose: citrus zest (lemon, grapefruit), white peach and pear, white flowers, with almond, brioche, and light toasty notes; chalky mineral undertone.
- Palate: crisp, elegant acidity; sleek, creamy texture; flavors echo the nose—lemon, pear, quince—with mineral backbone and subtle brioche; long, focused finish.
- Finish: long and mineral-driven, with citrus and pastry echoes. Overall: poised, refined, and age-worthy.
