Tasting par Véronique Boss-Drouhin :

"This beautiful premier cru displays a shining golden colour, sprinkled with subtle and delicate green reflections. The nose reveals a beautiful floral intensity followed by fruity notes of ripe pear and white peach. Light touches of brioche and toasted almond add refined complexity. On the palate, the attack is lively and refreshing, offering a beautiful mineral tension that stretches elegantly. The finish, long and tasty, leaves an impression of purity and balance, with nuances of citrus and a saline touch that underlines the freshness of the terroir."
