Tasting notes
Wine with a fairly deep gold color with a rich, shiny and crystalline substance in the glass. Fine nose on a floral frame, hawthorn, with notes of mint, lemongrass, lemon balm and honey. On the fruit in the mouth with a substance with flavors of peach, apricot and citrus on the finish. No need to let it age because it is greedy and tasty today. Serve very chilled.

“The peach and citrus aromas of this ambitious Vin de France are ripe and enticing. Lovely balance of creaminess and lively acidity, with delicate saltiness at the very straight finish. Drink now.”
