Clear and limpid, with a lovely golden colour, aromas of apricots, pears and green apples, notes of walnuts and hazelnuts, a hint of white flowers, and a slightly buttery finish. It has subtle and well-integrated notes of vanilla oak, combined with a slightly lemony note.
Serve well chilled (12°C) as an apéritif, with seafood, fish or charcuteries.

35% fermented in new and one-year-old oak barrels filled with must before the alcoholic fermentation begins (lasting about 3 weeks). 9 months ageing period in oak barrels with lees stirring, where the malolactic fermentation takes place. 65% fermented in stainless steel vats at 18-20°C. The malolactic fermentation is blocked. Final blending before bottling.
