"This entry-level wine from Noval already shows the potential of this illustrious estate. The nose is magnificent, combining noble vegetal and well-defined fruit, relayed by a freshness evoked by a note of lemon thyme. Beautiful aromatic complexity and precise substance form a graceful, elegant whole, even if density is not its greatest asset" (La Revue du Vin de France).
