Ethereal white spring flowers emerge, evoking lily of the valley and hawthorn blossoms, while a whisper of subtle toasted brioche adds warmth and complexity, hinting at the wine's elegant barrel maturation.

Palate: Taut and beautifully linear, this wine is profoundly driven by a distinctive saline, chalky limestone minerality that anchors every sip.
