Light straw reflections. Elegant aromas with notes of citrus, dried fruits, white flowers, almond and toast, minerality. Full opulent palate balanced with fine acidity and liveliness showing the wine’s exquisite balance. Full bodied, complex and powerful, this special cuvee partially aged in oak will reveal to you another aspect of our terroirs. A wine gifted with great aging potential, a racy and exciting Melon B. for wine lovers.
