This wine offers a perfumed bouquet that beautifully combines white flowers, ripe yellow fruits, and honey, with intriguing medicinal hints. The aroma of freshly baked apple pastries, reminiscent of chausson aux pommes, adds a comforting warmth to the nose. Although the palate might seem a bit sweet for a brut nature and initially simple, it unfolds into a genuinely enjoyable aftertaste. This lingering finish is subtly perfumed, featuring notes of white flowers, crushed apple seeds, and almonds, with a hint of mineral and salty nuances at the close.
While not overly complex, the wine is remarkably well-made and delicious. Its straightforward yet finely crafted profile makes it an inviting choice.
