Written Notes

Bright, green yellow colour. Refined, harmonious and concentrated nose with delicate fruitiness - apples, pineapple, elegant toastiness, vanilla and buttery notes. Dry, balanced mouthfeel with gently vivid acidity, refined toasty oakiness and delicate fruitiness. Very balanced and harmonious wine with round lingering finish. Decant for 45 minutes and serve at 11-13°C with sauteed white fish with creamy sauces. JL 90p (12/2020)

  • 90p

Bright yellow colour with green hue. Very elegant nose with aroma reminiscent of ripe citrus fruit, juicy pear, crisp apple, ripe apricots, hints of tropical fruit in the background (pineapple and starfruit), roasted hazelnuts and hints of minerality. On the palate well structured with good aromatic depth, fine acidity, elegant oak, ripe yellow stone fruit and citrus fruit. Well balanced with convincing length and exciting tension.
