      Tasting notes :

      From the start, the nose is very open, with fragrances of plums and other stone fruits, along with floral notes and aromas of nuts (hazelnuts, fresh walnuts) in the background. Later, aeration reveals the complexity of the blending, with hints of spice and linden coming through.
      The palate is initially supple, followed by a feeling of roundness that predominates. The wine is ripe but softened by the effervescence. The acidity and dosage are restrained, and the overall texture is full and soft. The finish is like the palate: harmonious, supple, and aromatic. It fades away on a slight note of astringency.
