Product notes
The vines are mulched (covered with a carpet of plants more or less thick, more or less sophisticated) entirely to avoid the flow of soil, water evaporation, weeds ... Vinification in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Maturation in stainless steel tanks as well. Delicate nose with accents of pink grapefruit. There are also dominant odors of limestone and blackcurrant buds. Citrus flavors with minerality.

Tasting notes
Robe of light straw yellow hue. Delicate nose with accents of pink grapefruit. There are also dominant odors of limestone and blackcurrant buds. This dry white wine has a lively acidity. Faithful to the aromas perceived at the olfaction, it asserts itself by citrus flavors through which a minerality of soil accentuates the freshness. It reveals an ample mouthfeel that precedes a sustained finish.
