Pale yellow with golden highlights shimmering with green, this wine opens with a subtle, delicate nose of acacia flowers, white peach, mango, ripe lemon, and a touch of aniseed. On the palate, the balance of tannins, maturity, and freshness at the attack is striking. Vibrant with energy, it offers a distinctly Mediterranean palette of aromas — dill, mint, and aniseed — before, with a little air in the glass, the tension eases to reveal vine peach, apricot, elderflower, and a hint of liquorice. Owing to its continental position, the Domaine’s terroir yields wines of great elegance, with profiles that promise magnificent evolution in the bottle.
