Conditions météorologiques

2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!

Dégustation

Lovely, brilliant, very pale yellow colour.
Showing complex aromas of tropical fruit and citrus, the bouquet manages to be both intense and ethereal. There are also hints of yellow peach, proving that the grapes were picked very ripe.
Rich and full-bodied. Its freshness enables the flavours to last from beginning to end of the tasting. Although still very young, this wine has a soft, pleasant, velvety aftertaste.
