Tasting Notes

Beautiful pale golden colour with greenish tints. The nose discloses elegant fruity notes dominated by citrus fruit, juicy pears, peach and exotic fruit.

Climate

  • The beginning of winter was marked by alternating cool and mild periods.
  • In April, a historic frost episode which reduced the quantity of the harvest.
  • A very rainy spring followed by a summer season that was slow to settle in and was generally quite cool.
  • A very nice late season in September and October, beneficial to keep the aromatic freshness of the grapes and a perfect balance between acidity and alcohol.

Vineyard Management

  • Double Guyot pruning (3 buds per aste).
  • Working the soil throughout the vineyard: chemical weeding is banned in favor of mechanical weeding.
  • Manual leaf removal and green harvesting. • Manual harvest with successive sorting.
