Tasting Note
| Sight | Very pale straw yellow colour. Clear and transparent. |
|---|---|
| Nose | A markedly varietal nose combining the ripest pear, almost candied, and banana with creamy notes from working with the fine lees in the vat. |
| Mouth | The mouth, with volume despite its freshness, fills us with memories of a Tarte Tatin of pears on a background of crème anglaise. |
“On the palate, the delicious white flowers and minerality take on citrus notes and a faint hint of green apple as the wine makes its way linearly across the palate.”
