Tasting Notes: Fresh aromas of pear, apricot, melon, and white blossoms like cherry and almond, layered over a core of flinty, oyster-shell minerality and delicate spice. The palate is round and juicy yet taut, carrying yellow fruit flavors—peach, apricot, melon—balanced by vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral, steely backbone. Toasted brioche and smoked-hazelnut undertones from oak aging add texture and depth, finishing long, saline, and crisp.

Food Pairing: Rich fish like salmon or tuna,quiche, ravioli, seafood risotto.
