INDICATION GÉOGRAPHIQUE PROTÉGÉE PAYS D’OC
This wine offers a bright, shiny, pale-yellow colour. Its nose is complex, mixing aromas of white flowers, jasmine and ripe fruits, such as white peach and apricot. Soft vanilla notes add complexity to the ensemble, which is aromatic, limpid, and captivating. The palate offers a nice balance between complexity and tension. Expressive, it opens with notes of pear, a creamy texture and toasted hints derived from its aging. It has an elegant freshness on the mid-palate, supported by notes of wood. It has a lasting saline finish, with persistent toasted aromas.
