TASTING NOTE: appearance: Straw yellow with pale golden highlights. bouquet: An intense bouquet, but of particular finesse, with scents of almond blossom, rennet apples, a faint spiciness and a hint of crusty bread. flavor: Dry, crisp and elegant, with a very persistent rounded sensation in which one finds a light fruity note of ripe apples, an attractive hint of yeast and sweet almonds and a vaguely aromatic undertone that is typical of Chardonnay.
