Gault&Millau's review 2026

A delicate nose of almond, quince, peach and lemon zest, opening to spicy notes of cardamom, licorice and star anise. This refreshing wine reveals floral and fruity aromas on the palate, with a round attack. Its lightly tannic structure offers an appreciable chewiness. The resplendent finish lingers with beautiful bitters, spices and hints of plum. Ideal as an aperitif.
