Appearance

Nose
The nose charms with its freshness and softness. It reveals aromas of fennel delicately mingled with notes of white peach, toasted brioche, and fresh butter.

Palate
The palate opens with flavors of fully ripe yellow fruits. It is carried by a natural acidity that balances a beautiful breadth, a hallmark of aging in oak foudres.
