  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    At first the wine presents itself with restraint before revealing its complex potential in the glass. The initial minerally aromatic structure comprising flint, graphite and slate is gradually overlayered by fruity notes of dry hay and exotic fruit. This delicate and harmonious wine, with its bright straw yellow color with greenish reflexes pampers the palate with a clean, fresh acidity and succulently salty taste and has a persistent finish.
