A colour with golden undertones, the nose opens with fruity notes of apple, rhubarb, quince, and mirabelle plum. After a few moments, hazelnut aromas complement the aromatic palette. A wonderful creamy effervescence yields a delectable and expressive quality. Exotic flavours, with brioche and hints of stewed fruit, precede a saline finish. The dosage is 6 grams/litre.
