Attractive nose offering subtle and seductive notes of citrus and exotic fruits combined with delicate toasty notes. The palate is rich and well-balanced with a smooth mouth-feel and taut, mineral structure. A very harmonious wine with exceptional aromatic persistency.

"Very fresh green citrus, pears, subtle minerals, fresh butter and cream on the nose. Young but also graceful, with an almost full body and a substantial center palate. Long and bright but not quite austere. Superb balance. Fermented in barrels, including 50% new oak. Drink from 2027."
