Yellow robe; the bouquet has a mixed white fruits, compote of stewed fruits aroma, is a bel ensemble, is nicely accurate. The palate has an apricot-peach flavour, a pleasing texture and style in the richness, the length understated. It’s very joli, gives really cosy drinking, could go with asparagus, is spherical, has high charm, neat grip. 12.5°. 2028-29 May 2023
