Tasting
Colour: Bright golden yellow with amber highlights.
Nose: Intense, complex and pure. Dominant aromas of candied apricot, quince, acacia honey, dried fruit and candied citrus fruit, enhanced by a spicy, slightly woody touch.

Grape varieties: Semillon (83%), Sauvignon Blanc (12%), Muscadelle (5%).
