The nose opens with an inviting bouquet of white flowers – hawthorn and honeysuckle – interwoven with subtle hints of citrus zest, predominantly lemon and grapefruit. As the wine unfolds in the glass, these initial aromas are joined by notes of freshly baked brioche, a testament to the extended period of ageing on the lees. There's a distinct minerality present, reminiscent of chalk and wet stone, adding a layer of complexity and freshness. On the palate, the wine is remarkably dry and crisp, with a vibrant acidity that provides a backbone to the wine's structure. The flavours echo the aromas, with a core of citrus fruits complemented by a subtle nuttiness – think of toasted almonds and hazelnuts. The texture is incredibly fine and silky, coating the palate with a delicate mousse. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and refinement.
