Layered and dynamic blend with citrus zest, orchard fruit, and mineral-driven backbone.

Nose: Citrus zest, orchard fruit, delicate floral and herbaceous nuances, subtle nut-tinged notes.
Palate: Lively acidity frames broad mid-palate weight and gentle oxidative breadth from extended barrel ageing, giving depth without heaviness. Mineral-driven character reflects quartz-inflected Sologne soils, with subtle saline accents running through.
Finish: Persistent, combining freshness, energy, and texture in an expressive yet balanced profile.
Serve: Chilled, 10–12°C.
