Winemaking & ageing

Gentle vinification, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, with bioprotection to limit sulphites. Micro-oxygenation during vinification to enhance roundness, followed by ageing on fine lees in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s freshness.

Tasting

A pale yellow colour, bright and clear. An elegant nose revealing aromas of white flowers, apple and pear, with a light hint of hazelnut.
On the palate, fresh, balanced, fruity and round, with a clean and persistent finish.
