The vintage
2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success
of this vintage.

Tasting
Attractive light yellow colour with green highlights.
The nose is highly aromatic, with delicate citrus and grapefruit aromas mixed with subtle notes of white fruit (peach).
The attack is very fresh. This freshness accompanies us throughout the tasting, providing a pleasant liveliness right through to the finish. This is a particularly pleasant wine. The citrus notes (grapefruit) are still very present.
