Tasting notes
Bright and expressive, this wine reveals aromas of citrus fruits and tropical notes, alongside the characteristic mineral nuances of Pouilly-Fumé. The palate is crisp and fresh, with flavours of grapefruit, lemon and ripe exotic fruit balanced by lively acidity. Elegant and well-structured, it finishes long with a refreshing mineral edge.

Vinification details
After a gentle pressing and 24 hour settling of the juice, the wine ferments in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at 15-18°C. These long fermentations give more intense and delicate aromas. The wine then receives five months of maturation on its fine lees at a cool temperature before bottling.
