2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A beautiful white, very aromatic and well-balanced".
"A blend of Mauzac (60%) and Ondenc, this superb wine, a beautiful straw yellow with intense golden highlights, opens with a basket of fruit (citrus, passion fruit, quince) enhanced by a touch of vanilla and honey. A broad aromatic palette infuses a perfectly balanced palate, offering both roundness and tension, before a saline finish full of panache. A white with character, to drink or to keep".
