TO THE EYE : Robe vieille or.
ON THE NOSE: The nose is frank and expressive, revealing a beautiful evolution. From the very first whiffs, elegant floral notes, dominated by lily, emerge with great clarity. Upon further exploration, the second nose unveils remarkable aromatic richness, blending warm accents of dried and candied fruits such as lemon, pineapple, and mango.
ON THE PALATE: The attack surprises with its liveliness and striking freshness, all the more impressive for a wine of this age. This vibrancy is due to the absence of malolactic fermentation, thus preserving all the wine’s energy. The aromas perceived on the nose extend onto the palate, enhanced by nuances of cereals, gingerbread, honey, quince, and dried apricots. This aromatic complexity makes this vintage an ideal choice for a gourmet meal, delighting the most discerning palates.
