COMMENTAIRY :
A lightly golden yellow robe (referring to a macerated wine). The nose presents notes of citrus, candied lemon, orange peel, white-fleshed fruits, and hints of orange blossom. The palate has a sharp, clear, and direct attack; this Chenin reveals itself as very dry and taut, fresh, and lively, ultimately with relatively few tannins despite the extended maceration. A deep and delicate wine with finely crafted fruit, notes of sweet spices, and plum eau de vie, as well as chamomile infusion.
