Tasting notes

The color reveals golden yellow reflections and a fine effervescence. Rich and delicate nose with notes of lemon, grapefruit which evolves towards honeysuckle with subtle chalky notes. The mouth, precise and intense, evokes this bouquet of citrus fruits and is prolonged by a beautiful saline tension.
