Very young, lively colour with pale green, straw yellow hints. Nicely bright and very clear, it trickles unctuously down the glass.
Frank, open bouquet, aromatic and perfumed, very floral and vinous, clean and fresh notes of fruit and spice, rose, mignonette, lily of the valley, mango, lychee, pineapple, passion fruit, cardamom, saffron, hop flower.
Dry on the palate, its freshness harmonises well with its generous structure, nicely aromatic and flavoursome on the finish.
A wine to drink at 1, 2 or 3 years of age, served chilled at 8°C as an aperitif, to spend a pleasant moment.
Made exclusively from hand harvested grapes from predominantly clay and limestone vineyards, in a dozen of the most favored localities in and around Riquewihr. A cool and long growing season give this unique dry wine great finesse and unequalled intensity.
