Review and opinion by Mr. SEBASTIEN B. Published on 12/13/2020

It must be opened at least 1 hour in advance to allow it to degas and reveal its full potential. Easy to drink, with fairly fluid acidity and pleasant notes of green pear. The downside: a severe headache after 2 glasses. Disqualifying!

Note and opinion by Mr. REMY P. Published on 11/03/2020

A little acidic, very fruity (intense aromas) but lacking refinement and minerality. I would say it is a pleasant, thirst-quenching wine, well suited as an aperitif or with fish. Ready to drink now.
