Tasting Note

Clear and brilliant, with an intense yellow colour and golden highlights. Aromas typical of Sauvignon Blanc (lemon and blackcurrant buds) dominate on the nose, accompanied by notes of white flowers and orange blossom imparted by Muscadelle. Tropical fruit and citrus flavours come to the fore on the palate. Notes of lemon and grapefruit emerge, mingled with nuances of fleshy white fruit such as pear and lychee. Delicious, round, attractive and fruity on the palate. The rich and concentrated texture is underpinned by a thirst-quenching minerality. The incredibly long aftertaste showcases the complexity of this wine, with ripe fruit flavours balanced out by a lovely vivaciousness. All in all, a gourmet, refined wine with a great deal of tension and elegance.
