Tasting Notes
This wine comes in an elegant, vibrantly bright lemon-yellow color, betraying no sign of the wine’s relatively mature age.
The nose is vibrant and fresh too. Distinctive mineral notes of iodine and sea breeze lift up fresh lemon tones and subtle oaky aromas. A discrete and fine nose.
The palate feels extremely light and vibrant too. Not that it’s a light wine, it is concentrated in acidity, oily texture and very fine bubbles. But the absolute balance give it an utterly smooth finesse.
Fresh flavors of lime and grapefruit, with some peppery spices make for a fresh zesty sensation. Long petrol notes to the finish marry very well integrated oaky tones accentuating the wine’s smooth feel.
A flawless wine with perfect composure and balance, combining vibrant fresh fruit characters with finesse and elegance of a great prestigious Champagne blend.
Retails around $130 or 75€. Find this wine to buy on Wine-Searcher
