Written Notes

Light, yellow green colour. Complex and multilayered nose with plethora of aromas – truffle oil, white peach, brioche, foie gras white flowers and gunflint with gentle toastiness (derived from oak ageing of 10%). Dry, broad and intense silky texture with purity and concentration. Smooth mousse with pristine fresh fruit and minerality escorts the lingering finish leaving polished and refined aftertaste.
