Jean-Pierre Mareigner, Cellar-Maser, comments:
The colour is a bright and clear yellow gold. The first nose is very fresh and expressive with notes of hawthorn, lilac, wild white flowers and fruit notes such as pear, plum and Mirabelle. The palate is straightforward with light notes of violet. Citrus fruits aromas dominate in this cuvée: lemon drops and grapefruit aromas sustained by fruit aromas (pear, plum) thus confirming the nose. In the mouth, we can find aromas of citrus caviar and grapefruit.
The finish has a long lasting, refreshing note with a hint of saltiness, and ends with notes of lemon. It will pair perfectly with fish like sea bass baked in a salt crust, scallops but also with salt‐marsh lamb or fresh goat cheese.
