The colour is pale yellow with clear reflections of good intensity. The disc is shiny, limpid, and transparent. The wine presents youth.

The nose is frank, pleasant and of good intensity. We perceive a dominant scent of citrus fruits, zest of yuzu, lime, white flowers, and a spicy register of ginger. Aeration amplifies these odours and reveals the pear and an underlying mineral smokiness. The odour profile provides a good feeling of freshness. The variety is racy, and the definition of terroir is becoming clearer.

The attack on the palate is slender, the alcohol support full-bodied. We evolve on a sharp medium, marked by pearling. We find the range of aromas of the nose, always focused on citrus fruits, zest of yuzu, lime, pear, fine vegetal, white flowers, spices, ginger, and this smoky touch of gunflint. We feel a hint of firm bitterness. The finish presents a good length, 8-9 caudalies, as well as a strict vivacity and a persistent bitterness. The balance is about purity, crystallinity. The great mineral bitters structure the whole, while the precise range of aromas reinforces an impression of freshness.
