SOMMELIER'S NOTES
This wine boasts a richly expressive aroma, weaving together notes of zesty lemon, delicate white flowers, juicy Bosc pear, and the indulgent scent of buttered popcorn. It is further enhanced by the warmth of toasted almonds and a unique hint of struck match. On the palate, ti presents as dry yet wonderfully ripe, balancing its concentration with an invigorating brightness. The finish is notably prolonged and satisfying. For the best tasting experience, avoid serving this wine too cold. Opt for a Burgundy bowl-shaped glass over a traditional Chardonnay glass to fully appreciate its complex character. (JL - Nov. 2023)
