8g/L dosage
"Fluid and luminous pale yellow-green colour, with deep lemonyellow highlights in the glass. Aromatically, a pastry universe embodied by notes of caramelized and grilled hazelnut and almond, fresh butter, with notes of fruits like apple and quince. When aerated it evolves towards aromas of bergamot, linden, candied lemon, blackcurrant, raspberry, with hints of toast. On the palate, frank and fresh with a creamy and melted effervescence. Pulpy and coated fruity matter sustained by an acidity reminding those of lemon. The finish reveals concentrated and savoury matter, raised by liquorice and toasted bread aromas." - Importer Notes
"Medium brassy straw yellow colour; nutty meringue and some sherry-like aldehyde on the bouquet; bright and zesty on entry, the palate full and rich, ample and makes a statement. A full-flavoured wine with plenty of aged character, the finish lip-smacking dry and crisp. A bolder, more pinot-esque style. And very impressive, especially on the palate. Enjoy now to 2029.
