COMMENTARY :
Light straw reflections. Elegant nose with pronounced mineral notes, citrus notes, delicate notes of white flowers, honeysuckle, almond. Supple attack, very dense wine, rich, bold and opulent which develops pretty bitter on mouth. Slender, complex, powerful, mouth blending notes of orchard fruits, stone fruits and citrus. A Chardonnay with large stretches marrying tension, power, salinity and vibration. Enjoy it now and in the years to come.
