Golden-hued robe. The nose reveals aromas of stone fruits and dried apricot, complemented by white flowers such as acacia and vine blossoms. On the palate, floral notes intertwine with hints of brioche and fresh bread. A beautiful finish marked by notes of Madagascan vanilla.
Pairs well with marinated white meat in olive oil, dill-seasoned fish, or oven-grilled oysters.
VINTAGE 2021
Spring 2021 experienced erratic frosts, which caused damage across most French vineyards. Fortunately, the Estoublon vineyard saw minimal impact. Frequent rains in May increased disease pressure, but the favorable spring weather allowed for excellent flowering without shatter or uneven grape development. Summer 2021 was ideal for healthy vine growth while preserving the berries' freshness. Harvest began on August 25th and lasted a month under bright sunshine, enabling gentle and harmonious berry ripening. Wines from this vintage are characterized by their freshness, tension, and elegance.
