Tasting

Color
Crystal clear white gold color, shimmering with slight green reflections.

Nose
Intensely marked by floral notes, the bouquet also reveals notes of white fruits while elegantly expressing the minerality of the Bajocian limestone.

Palate
Following the same register as the aromatic palette, the palate unfolds floral notes followed by dry fruit notes evoking hazelnut, brioche and subtle notes of salted butter. With intensity and finesse, the finish lingers for a long time.
