Typical gilded, brilliant, with green shades. In the mouth, we find the acid attack typical of Picpoul de Pinet accompanied by a beautiful structure, ample, pleasant, harmonious. The finish is long and exotic. A first pleasant and explosive nose, with aromas of fresh fruits with white flesh, and exotic fruits. Complex, it expresses notes of citrus, anise, linden, honeysuckle, acacia, and a slight minerality.$24.95 Bottle
