"After ten months in the vat, this pure Chardonnay boasts a bright, limpid color and an expressive nose of white flowers, lemon and butter, with hints of iodine. On the palate, full and silky, it reveals great finesse and remarkable persistence, with citrus fruit and minerality". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)
