COMMENTARY :

Full nose, round, with citrus, fennel, spices, herbs, bay leaf notes. Extremely smooth palate, creamy and full; this is the perfect example of what “Umami” is… if it can ever be defined… Large volume, rich, deep and delicate wine. Long finish, salty and seaweeds notes. A wine vinified during 15 months exclusively in amphoras to show another expression of the variety « Melon B ».
