Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards with limestone-rich soils and a Mediterranean climate, this wine benefits from sunny days and cool nights, which help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. The varied terrain of the Southern Rhône imparts a subtle minerality and balance to the blend.
Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with green reflections, clear and bright.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus blossom are joined by hints of honeysuckle and a delicate touch of wet stone.
Palate:
Crisp and lively on the palate, featuring flavors of ripe stone fruit, Meyer lemon, and melon, underscored by a gentle herbal note. The texture is smooth, with a balanced acidity that brings energy and focus.
Finish:
Clean and refreshing, the finish leaves a lasting impression of citrus zest and a faint mineral edge.
Overall Impression:
