"Made from fruit grown in Chouilly . . . . Pale gold. Assertive, mineral-tinged citrus and orchard fruits on the nose, with a suave jasmine nuance adding lift. Smoky and penetrating on the palate, offering energetic orange, anise and buttery brioche flavors and a hint of poached pear. Shows excellent clarity and lift on the finish, which clings with real tenacity and suave florality."
