The light yellow robe decked with glittering hints is accompanied with thin bubbles that form a lasting cordon. The maturity of the vintage is confirmed by a many lovely fragrances among which, scents of fresh fruits (mirabelle, pear and banana) can be recognized, supported by a toasty side. The generous delicacy of the mouth establishes itself by the presence of rich aromas of mango, orange and mirabelle. Finally, the violette’s notes can remind us those of the best Viogniers from Condrieu.
