This wine features a delicate bouquet that masterfully blends yellow fruits, chalk, shells, vanilla, smoke, and hints of brioche, creating a refined and appealing aromatic profile. The acidity is well-modulated, not overly sharp thanks to MLF, leading to a palate that is both round and slightly buttery. Its long and flavourful aftertaste, with notes of green mango, brioche, and mandarin, adds to the wine's charm. Overall, it presents a lovely and well-crafted experience.
This wine captivates with its non-linear and evolving profile, presenting a sophisticated bouquet of yellow fruits, green apricots, wet chalk, and shells. Though not abundant in descriptors, it offers a generous yet simultaneously delicate and subtle experience. With a solid structure and freshness that stops short of being overly crisp, it leaves a lasting impression. The aftertaste is long with some appealing transition from bitterness to sweetness in the finish. Interesting evolution in the glass.
