Tasting

Bleaching!
Beautiful ivory colour, bright and glittering with some silvery reflections. A rich and complex nose always revealing the fragrances of lime trees with aromas of plum peaches, pears and also Jasmine.
On the palate, we find the fruity side of peach and pear but also spices such as white pepper and cardamom. Very striking in the middle of the mouth white flowers and lime blossom accompanied by a touch of honey, long, always very generous with a rare freshness for a Côte de Provence of this age!
