Pale gold in the glass, offering a nose of crushed pear, green apple, honeysuckle, and lemongrass, underpinned by distinct notes of chalky minerality and citrus peel. On the palate, it is tense, precise, and mouth-watering, with vibrant acidity, crystalline fruit, and a laser-like structure. Flavours of white peach, quince, grapefruit zest, and a touch of raw almond unfold with great clarity. The finish is long, saline, and almost electric, with a persistent mineral core that echoes the limestone-rich terroir. A wine of energy, finesse, and quiet power.
