Pale straw colour with an intense, rather spicy, ripe, lemon-melon-apple-pear purée nose with some mineral notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, spicy, ripe, spicy, lemon-apple-melon flavours with a lingering, harmonious, somewhat tropical finish. This newly designated “Vins de France” (formerly IGP Pays d'Oc) has 13% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L2502A on the lower part of the glass bottle. Try with roast chicken.

| TASTING NOTE: Warm and round, with good energy. Orchard fruit and green plum notes are flanked by crushed stone and smoky mineral accents, plus well-integrated toasty details. Savory grilled herb hints echo on the wellmeshed finish. Broad and nicely rich. Drink now. Best Values. Score - 89 (Kristen Bieler, winespectator.com, Dec. 31, 2024) |
