Brilliant straw-yellow in colour, this wine is powerful yet elegant on the nose, with aromas of white peach, elderflower, and delicate brioche, developing spicy nuances of curry and white pepper after breathing. It reveals a magnificent and rare aromatic complexity. On the palate, there is great rectitude, with the freshness and elegance typical of altitude wines, offering orchard fruits such as green apple and mango, alongside aniseed, peppermint, buttery notes, salinity, and a touch of iodine on the finish. Superb minerality, characteristic of a grand Chardonnay, combines with structure and remarkable length from ageing in demi-muids. A sumptuous white Limoux, ready for years of cellaring for those with the patience to wait.
