"Bright limes, green apples and poached pears. Hints of white pepper and green paprika. Taut and edgy, but with good density and definition for this price. Fruity on the finish. Drink now." (James Suckling 2019)

It should be opened at least 1 hour in advance to degas and reveal as little as possible. Easy to drink, with fairly fluid acidity and pleasant green pear notes. The problem: a severe headache after 2 glasses. Eliminatory!

Note and review by M. REMY P. Published on 03/11/2020
A little acidic, very fruity (intense aromas) but lacks refinement and minerality. I'd say it's a pleasant thirst-quenching wine, well-suited to an aperitif or with fish. drink now.
