The nose offers an enticing bouquet of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, complemented by hints of brioche, toasted almonds, and a touch of floral elegance. On the palate, it is crisp and well-rounded, with flavours of stone fruits, lemon curd, and a subtle minerality. The finish is long, refreshing, and impeccably refined.
