OENOLOGIST’S TASTING NOTES

Eye: a handsome yellow revealing silvery highlights.
Nose: very fresh notes of hawthorn and white rose auguring a wine with long ageing potential. With time, aromas evolve notes of spice.
Taste: generous, elegant and highly-bred. It manages a balance between a powerful body and delicate final aromas of cinnamon and hazelnut.
Comment: geing potential and a subtle and distinguished balance, characteristic of soils of the Chablis district.
