With flinty aromas leading the way, this wine reveals delicate notes of honey, orange blossom, and white stone fruit, creating a beautifully layered bouquet. The palate is both vibrant and textured, showcasing ripe peach and nectarine flavors balanced by a subtle minerality. A bright acidity ties it all together, offering freshness and a refined finish that lingers gracefully.
The grapes are hand-picked with great care and chilled overnight in a cold room. The following day they are whole bunch pressed into a settling tank. This wine was left on its gross lees for 7 months before being bottled with occasional lees stirring during this time. Some of the juice is also fermented in older casks and big foudres; around 25% of the total. A small quantity is also fermented on skins and later blended into the wine.
