Bouquet:
The nose opens with great precision: delicate aromas of citrus fruits (lemon zest, grapefruit) mingle with white peach, pear, and a hint of exotic fruit (yuzu, passion fruit). These are complemented by floral nuances (white blossoms, linden blossom), subtle spice (ginger, white pepper), and a discreetly smoky, stony minerality. Aging in barriques lends the aroma delicate hints of vanilla, roasted almonds, and fresh baguette.

Palate:
Crystal clear and taut on the start, with vibrant, salty freshness. The acidity is precisely balanced, carrying the wine throughout its entire length. On the palate, citrus notes reappear, along with juicy apple, ripe peach, and delicate herbs. The oak influence is noticeable but perfectly integrated, lending the wine volume and texture without weighing it down. The mid-palate is dense but never heavy – with an impressive balance between power and elegance.

Departure:
Long, fresh, and salty-mineral. The finish is characterized by a subtle bitterness (grapefruit peel), a hint of smoke, and great clarity. A wine with character and potential.

Drinking window:
2027–2042+. Fascinating even in its youth, but with great potential for maturation.

Suitable for:
Delicate fish dishes, shellfish (lobster, scallops), poultry in light sauces, vegetable dishes with tarragon or fennel. Also a great white wine on its own for meditative moments.

Color:
Light golden yellow with a greenish shimmer. Crystal clear, with an elegant viscosity.
