Tasting Notes

This wine presents a beautiful, shimmering hue with golden reflections.  On the nose, it reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, acacia, and exotic fruits like lychee. As the wine evolves, layers of pastry and toasted notes emerge, a signature of Sémillon, harvested at its peak ripeness. The palate opens with a smooth, soft attack, leading into a rich and velvety mid-palate, enhanced by barrel aging. The influence of amphora maturation is noticeable on the finish, adding a subtle hint of orange peel that brings a refreshing balance and rounds out the wine, leaving it harmonious and well-balanced.
