Tasting
Beautiful, bright, pale yellow color. Yellow fruits, white flowers, and vanilla notes create an intense and beautifully ripe nose. The palate displays a real balance between fullness and freshness; it appears intense, delicate, silky, and long, with notes of apricot, peach, acacia flowers, and sweet spices. The lingering finish prolongs the pleasure.
