Presentation
The vintage
After a rather mild winter, bud break was early; it was followed by a uniform flowering in the first week of June, helped by the relatively high temperatures.
As always, the impact of the weather on the vineyard was the primary concern, and the teams worked throughout the year to ensure that the grapes reached maturity in perfect health. The onset of ripening occurred over two periods, first in late July and then again after 15 August, creating differences in the ripeness of the bunches on the same vine.

Tasting
Beautiful sparkling yellow colour, already deepening, but still with a few green glints of youth.
The nose is delicate, with scents of wild flowers. There are also notes of candied citrus fruit and melon. The wood is well-integrated.
On the palate, the attack is subtle and the wine then develops substantial volume. It reveals a pleasant acidity, with a good balance between freshness and richness. Citrus fruit is again present, with notes of orange. The long, fresh finish develops classic notes of candied apricots. While having a good potential to improve with age, this is also a wine that can be enjoyed relatively young.
