Pale yellow in colour with green and golden highlights, with a typically Chenin character, its nose promises a floral and fruity blend of white flowers, citrus fruit, yellow fruit and dried fruit, enhanced by a gourmet touch of brioche. On the palate, this dry Chenin is both balanced and generous, with remarkable mineral tension. The finish is long and delicious. A truly exceptional Chenin!
