Sommelier’s Insight & Flavour Profile

Blended from the classic Bordeaux white varietals and matured in oak, this wine is a masterclass in balance between vibrant fruit and polished texture.

• Aroma: The nose is complex and inviting, featuring pronounced notes of citrus fruit (lemon curd, grapefruit), Granny Smith apple, and exotic touches, beautifully integrated with subtle nuances of white flowers and toasted wood.
• Taste: Exhibits a lively yet elegant palate. It offers excellent tension, combining a refreshing, crisp acidity with a rounded, full-bodied mouthfeel. The finish is exhilaratingly fresh and long, displaying a fine mineral grip that confirms its status as a top-tier white Bordeaux.
