Nose
The nose is intense and complex, combining aromas of white fruits and mango with delicate notes of vanilla and brioche.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is beautifully structured, with a silky texture, a certain roundness and volume in the mid-palate. The whole is balanced by a pleasant freshness. The wine is remarkably long on the palate, with a marked aromatic persistence and a very long, aromatic finish.
Growing Conditions
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.
