APPEARANCE: It presents a luminous straw-yellow color, enriched by warm golden or silvery highlights, depending on the vintage.
BOUQUET: On the nose, it offers a surprising, enveloping complexity. It opens with clear, fresh notes of anise, mint, and fern, before expanding into hints of citrus, peach, and lime. Spicy nuances of vanilla and white pepper also emerge, alongside a distinct mineral character and a sweet finish reminiscent of acacia honey.
TASTING NOTES: On the palate, it is round, smooth, and elegant. Its softness is perfectly balanced by a distinct youthful freshness and a pleasant, refined saline quality. The finish is extraordinarily long and clean.
