"A pretty, charming white with a delicate touch, the ideal companion for all your aperitifs!"
"Lovely juicy nose that offers brightness and depth. Nicely marked by its terroir. Notes of zest, mesocarp and, more slightly, flat peach, combined with a fine touch of mandarin blossom and a very discreet hint of exotic fruit. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and deliciously gourmet, offering minerality, a little fat, smoothness, tension, roundness, juiciness and an airy quality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy lemon and white peach, and more lightly of crushed nectarine, combined with a touch of crushed pear and hints of white flowers, zest and a subtle mineral/rooty touch. Good length. (Vert de Vin 2023)

About the wine:
I like the clarity here with sliced apples, pears and lemon zest. Some blanched almonds. Creamy and balanced with medium body. Drink now.
