Grassy and petrol fragrances all but bury hints of lychee and forest floor aromas. Sweet lychee and lemony acidity come to the forefront on the palate, balanced by green bell pepper and a tenacious back note of petrol. The finish is clean and bright.

Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE: Lemon yellow with green reflections. AROMA: The nose is marked, pleasant and intense, dominated by floral (peony, violet) and exotic (passionfruit, lychee and papaya) scents. The airing enhances these scents and reveals citrus fruits, blood orange, grapefuit, pineapple, mango, banana and spices, candied ginger. The nose shows the perfect state of health of the grapes and reveals the original and unique brightness of this great grape variety. PALATE: The onset in the mouth is dense, marrowy and the alochol support is full-bodied. The wine evolves on a medium with a fine liveliness, marked by a sparkling note. The same bright aromas as on the nose, still dominated by flowers, violet, peony, citrus fruits, grapefruit, blood orange, exoticism, papaya, mango, lychee, passionfruit, banana, rum and spices, candied ginger. A firm and tasty bitterness.
