"Le café au lait, la brioche beurrée, la marmelade pomme-coing-noix, c'est un véritable petit déjeuner qui s'invite dès les premiers arômes. Un nez qui ne manque pourtant pas de fraîcheur et de juteux avec des notes de fruits à noyau (abricot, mangue), de fleurs odorantes (sureau, jasmin). Une superbe complexité qui se dévoile petit à petit. En bouche, la maturité est bien présente, à peine bousculée par un dosage minimaliste à 1g/l. La fraîcheur tendre persiste jusqu'en finale. Une invitation à aller danser ou à un dîner romantique."

Eng: "Coffee with milk, buttered brioche, apple-quince-walnut jam - a real breakfast invites itself from the very first aromas. Yet the nose does not lack freshness and juiciness with notes of stone fruit (apricot, mango) and fragrant flowers (elderflower, jasmine). A superb complexity that unfolds little by little. On the palate, the ripeness is very present, barely disturbed by a minimalist dosage of 1g/l. The tender freshness lingers until the finish. An invitation to go dancing or to a romantic dinner."
