“It reflects the grape variety and its terroir, with notes of hazelnut and white flowers, as well as hints of curry and nuts. A beautiful expression of its character on a taut palate.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 – Gault Millau)

About the wine:

The slightly overripe nose gives way to a fruity palate, subtle on the attack but quite powerful on the finish.
