TASTING NOTES
-
Nose - Elegant notes of white flowers, lemon zest, and green apple, evolving into toasted brioche, fresh hazelnut, and a hint of gunflint smoky minerality.
-
Taste - Vibrant, crisp, and precise with flavors of white peach, candied citrus, and subtle frangipane. Texturally creamy yet defined by a taut, chalky spine.
-
Finish - Remarkably long and persistent with lingering saline minerality, delicate citrus oil, and a refined, airy lift.
