This white wine presents a pale straw yellow colour with greenish reflections, clear and brilliant. On the nose, expect fresh citrus fruits, green apple, white flowers, and subtle herbal notes, all underpinned by mineral hints. The palate is crisp, lively, and refreshing, with vibrant acidity, notes of lemon and grapefruit, saline minerality, and an elegant, dry finish. It is light to medium-bodied with negligible tannin, offering a slightly spicy nose of anise and a zesty finish. 【Elevating the often-underestimated Aligoté grape with Burgundian finesse and mineral precision】.
