Tasting Notes

Clear and bright with a light gold colour, tinged with lime green. Elegant and subtle, with delicate aromas of lime, green fig and floral notes delineating towards elderflower and orange blossom. The wine is tightly wound in its youth, but shows absolute fruit purity as well as some citrus and waxy notes, which will integrate and develop into a very refined wine. Terrific freshness, good fruit concentration and depth, but it remains restrained and elegant with stony mineral nuances. The fresh acidity is beautifully balanced with a mouth-coating creamy texture on the palate, which is brought about by barrel fermentation and maturation in these vessels on the gross lees for 7 months. Furthermore, 33% of this blend is Sémillon, which contributes weight and texture, making this a truly harmonious blend with an intriguing saline quality that lingers well onto your next sip.
