Tasting notes
Shimmering pale gold color. The nose, intense and expressive, reveals aromas of ripe lemon, delicate white flowers and an assertive chalky minerality. On the palate, remarkable power, carried by an ample structure and incisive freshness. The minerality of Avize is expressed brilliantly, highlighted by a long and vibrant finish, imbued with finesse and elegance.
