Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Flavour | Pure white peach, caramelized nuts, white flowers, and brioche. Rich and medium-bodied, with good acidity, it shows just traces of its oak élevage on the nose yet brings just pure, clean fruit on the palate, as well as a terrific sense of chalky minerality |
