Tasting notes
Straw yellow with greenish highlights. The nose of citrus, grapefruit and pale stone fruit develops into white flowers and exotic fruit. On the palate it is crisp, hovering on savoury undertones, with notes of dried fruit giving a lush, silky feel.

- Vinification
- After the harvest the grapes are gently crushed and then gently pressed, followed by static clarification of the juice without fining agents. The must ferments for 15-20 days at 18-20°C. The wine then rests in steel tanks kept at a low temperature, not below 15-16°C, and is stirred periodically on its fine lees until the end of winter. Bottling is in mid-summer.
