Tasting
Clear, slightly golden color, the nose is expressive, complex with notes of pastries (brioche) and genet-type flowers. On the palate the wine is well balanced: slightly acidic attack but nice roundness on the finish: this comes from the Rolle blend with 5% Sauvignon. The aromatic notes are elegant with notes of roasted dried fruits (almond, hazelnut) Beautiful complexity of this vintage with promising aging for patient tasters.
