Floral, aniseed and mentholated nuances bring lightness and freshness. The finish lingers on a delicate bitterness evoking fresh almonds.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Inviting on the nose, showing a symphony of nutty aromas, with mouthwatering notes of vanilla, toast, green apple and pear skin. Luscious in the mouth, with a beautifully creamy texture, supported by an energetic, shimmery acidity.”97/100 points (Platinum Medal), Decanter.com, 2022Also awarded MASTER at The Global Champagne Masters competition, 2023Food Match: Fish dishes (Sole, Brill, Monkfish cheeks, Squid, Cod loin).
