Colour Pale golden |
|
Bouquet fresh citrus aromas, fine notes of ripe orange and attractive smoky notes of stoned fruits and fresh pebbles. |
|
Flavour On the palate, the attack is fresh with a beautiful amplitude highlighted by a very pleasant and expressive minerality. Some light and fine oak tannins notes are giving a nice structure to the wine. Long and frank finish with caramel and « gun stones » notes, typical of flint terroir. |
Coming from a flint terroir, located north of Sancerre, which gives this wine great minerality and great finesse
This single vineyard wine offers a fine, fresh nose reminiscent of eucalyptus and flint. The attack is
vibrant, marked by “stony” notes and lemon. The finish is a surprise, with hints of caramel and gun flint.
